Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that in times of fear they might have to put on a brave face not only for others but also for themselves. This is a reality that we might have to subscribe to because without putting on a brave face we might totally fall apart. We know that we don’t have to fall apart especially when things or situations have the good possibility of turning out well. We understand this and often pray with hope, need and the desire for wellness. Experience has taught us to do this. In addition to this we also turn to people who are our supports because we definitely need to remain abstinent at such times. This is our reality. Pray, reach out, wait, and breathe. It’s our hopeful reality. Peace.
