As we begin to grow in one day at a time recovery we begin to understand the necessity of hitting the reset button for the second time in sequences of resetting it again and again while trying to navigate the realities and adversities of life. One of the reasons we need to reset and reset and reset again is we foolishly think that anxiety will always be kicking our butt. And perhaps it has or perhaps it will but hopefully we learn to keep our eyes on the prize. The prize is that we live day after day while remaining abstinent from our addiction and in all reality we learn that we have coped and continue to cope with anxiety even though when we are in our struggles it doesn’t seem like it. We have learned to reach out for support (peer and professional) and we have discovered its benefits. When we adapt to hitting the reset button for the second time in sequences of again and again we learn the reality of our growth and we give ourselves credit where credit is due. We need to know this. Peace.
