Many people living in one day at a time recovery eventually will ask ourselves the question, “Do we need to be proud?” Please note that this question isn’t rhetorical. We need to answer it. Some of us who are recovering people who experienced and will experience many setbacks answer this question with a definite “Yes”. Our reality has become, because of our experience that we need to be so with much, much, much humility. Pride becomes the reality of a job well done but we know we are no more or no less than anybody else. We’re just people. Just plain people. It has taken a whole lot of grace for us to be in recovery. This is our humble reality. No better no worse. We can’t let ourselves go to our heads. It invites relapse. We know from experience. Be careful. Be humble. It’s all a gift that we really had to work for. Peace.
