People who live life one day at a time know that recovery requires us to mature. As we develop maturity, we learn that being mature is not the same as living a clinical and somber life. We also know that maturity has no set chronological age or certain amount of years in which we have lived life one day at a time. Often we find we are simply entertaining maturity which is really our ability to adapt to life and its emotions. It’s our reality of holding it together when we need to. We are also entertaining maturity when we have the strength to reach out when we are in struggle. We are living in maturity when we realize and accept that we don’t have to live our lives and our recovery alone. Maturity happens when it does. It’s not all about us. It’s a challenging gift. Peace.
