Many of us who are getting older in one day at a time recovery have to face the reality of although we are in recovery, recovery doesn’t turn us into pinnacles of society and ever courageous examples of sober living itself. We still live with the fears, and sometimes the setbacks of fallible living, misgiving thoughts, and the inability to live up to our unrealistic expectations of ourselves as we slowly grow into the reality of our own lives which is we were flawed people and will continue to be so until the day we die and they throw dirt in our face. This is the reality and the freedom of imperfection which makes us worthy of grace and in grace we become content. What else could we do? Acceptance becomes our greatest gift. It sets us free. Peace.
