Sometimes people living in recovery from mental health conditions and addiction feel like they’re less than other people. It’s a sub conscious judgement of ourselves as we compare ourselves to others. They are natural thoughts for us. We are told by people who live in one day at a time recovery we are no better or no worse than any other people. All people are equal. All people are worthy of love and belonging. I know that some people are better at some things than others. That doesn’t matter. We are all human beings. A recovering friend told me that they were not the person they want to be, and they were not the person they ought to be, but they were damned sure that they were not the person they used to be. It’s about a little bit of growth day by day by day.
