Many of us living in one day at a time recovery discover we have choices. What we must understand is we do have a chance of being able to make healthy and realistic choices. Healthy and realistic choices are the beginning of healthy and workable relationships. If we are living in one day at a time recovery we know we have the ability to be responsible. In being so we are capable of choice. This is the joy of being healthy. What we will learn is that while in recovery we can can still make the wrong choices but buying two cans of spaghetti sauce for six dollars instead of buying three cans of the same spaghetti sauce on sale at three cans for six dollars and forty-nine cents was an ill-informed choice with little to no consequence. This is the reality of being well. When we are not well some of the choices we make might be harmful to our health and well being. Addiction and mental health disorders complicate and put a strain on our relationships. If so, we need to learn to reach out. When we do we discover the reality of choice. Please do. Peace.
