Some people living in one day at a time recovery understand that if we don’t let go of whatever we don’t let go of it will consume us. This is the reality of addiction. We seemed doomed to use and using was an all powerful entity that consumed every moment and every breath that we lived. Situations and circumstances can do the same to us while we are living in recovery. It is an untasteful title we are bearing but in all reality we have become control freaks who must control every stressor, every challenge, and every hiccup that we encounter as we live this journey that we call recovery. Many of us turn to centering prayer to help us let go (something like “The Serenity Prayer”). Centering prayer helps us to let go of adversity. We have been told “Let go and let God”. It saves us a lot of trouble. It’s a new way of life for us and it works. Peace.
