Most people living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like when living in recovery seems to be like living in the tiring days. It’s a reality that occurs after we have a bit of abstinence under our belt when our emotions appear a bit flat and feelings of the humdrums occur. What is going on is we are just not getting a lift out of life. What most of realize is this is at times the reality of recovery. It can be compared to going to your job when you’re just going so you can pick up a pay-cheque. That’s what we do. We go to work to get paid and that is what recovery does. It pays us to be abstinent. Our life is and will continue to get better pretty soon. Keep the faith. Be grateful. Live one day at a time. Peace.
