People living in one day at a time recovery eventually get to understand that our fear, and our pride, will eventually teach us a lesson that reminds us of the humility that we uncovered when we first saw the mess that addiction brought to our lives humbling us in all the realities of becoming a recovering person. We knew we needed help because we recognized the troubles that had come into our lives and we just wanted the pain to end. Pain is what brings us into recovery. Once in recovery, even after many years of recovery, we recognize pride and fear are still, and always will be, a part of our lives. Because of this we learn we are not perfect but we do find a realistic balance of humility while in recovery. We know we have much to learn as we awaken into humanness. We’re experiencing grace. Peace.
