Those of us living in one day at a time recovery know when responsibilities are becoming too difficult. We know when we are out of our routine, life can become full of anxiety. We might develop panic attacks, which are not only difficult for us, but also for those close to us. We can become people who have blinders on. All we can see is that we need help, and we need to ask for it without being desperate, demanding, or in any other way inappropriate. Hopefully the stress will break, and we will find ways to appropriately handle the responsibilities that have become so difficult. Others might help us with our difficulties, or we might have to let go of some of our responsibilities. We’ll be okay. We’re receiving the gifts of concern and assistance. One day at a time we let go of panic and become healthy again.
