Some of us living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like for us to live in a world where we’ll weep. It is the nature of soft-hearted people. People who could not come to terms with the reality that we lived impaired lives with little regards for the wellness of those who were closest to us. When we first find abstinence it is a good chance the flood gates will open full force. In our fear and in our remorse we find out just how tough we really are. We’re like kittens facing a pack of hungry wolves. Our emotions chew us up, spit us out and tell us that we best not run with the wolves. We seek refuge in the arms of our loved ones, detox centers, and hospitals in which we find new beginnings. In such realities and in such desperation we understand we need not face life on our own. Some say our tears help in the cleansing of our souls. Today we know that it’s okay to weep. It all part of living in one day at a time recovery. We are no longer alone. We’ve found grace. Peace.
