Many of us who are living in one day at a time recovery live with gentle bombardments reminding us that we have to be vigilant and aware that we are people who live with mental health conditions that can often be accompanied by substance addictions and sometimes behavioral disorders. What we discover is many of us in all honesty are seemingly dependent to our own unhealthy thought patterns and egoic imaginings. Vigilance in being active in one day at a time recovery accompanied by self-awareness helps to keep us out of chaotic behaviors and dangerous thinking such as denial and believing that we are unique. We are in all honesty just recovering people being vigilant and awake to the belief and the practice that we are recipients and givers of recovery’s grace and purpose. We keep what we have by giving it away. Gentle bombardments and reminders that we have to be vigilant and aware that we need to participate and be responsible for our recovery are a gift. Peace.
