Many people living in one day at a time recovery gain control of their lives by the simple practice of letting go. Often we discover our attraction to our thought process is something we cannot bear to lose. Even if it is unhealthy, and a cumbersome load, we hang onto its familiarity as if it was a primary addiction. Contrary to all evidence revealed to us by our totally unmanageable lives, we argue with ourselves, and others, that we are in complete control of ourselves. In reality we are not. The consequence of living unmanageable lives often hits us with a stark reality. We need to change our thinking. Many of us reached out for professional help discovering we need medication to help us let go of our unhealthy thought processes. When doing so many of us became healthy. Our minds became well. This leads to the act of gaining control by letting go of an unhealthy familiarity for a new, and healthy life of living in recovery. This can be a new reality. Peace.
