Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that being in recovery and staying in recovery helps create freedom for the future. Our reality according to our history reveals to us that if we stumble back into active addiction seeking freedom from life or whatever we believe we are seeking freedom from we are opening the cover to Pandora’s Box. In doing so we are actually embracing all the chains, cages and adversities that come with active addiction. Our reality is that when we live in active addiction we can actually harm important relationships which while living in recovery we were actually in the process of repairing and developing trust and commonality. In the act of remaining abstinent and trying to amend our wrongs we are developing a freedom from active addiction. In as such we are beginning to understand the reality of the other. One day at a time recovery builds freedom for the future and in as such we have stopped burning bridges. Growth takes time. Freedom is a process. They bring with them the gift of reality. Peace.
