Many people living in one day at a time recovery become introspective people. Sooner or later we become self-aware people who try to make such an awareness an act of ability to help others we are akin with. In doing so we hope to develop mature empathy and do not try to sugar-coat the reality of suffering that others experience. We know any type of pain sucks but we know life is doable and we know in all reality that life will get better. In mature empathy we become supportive people who do not just keep on bandaging the wounds that others experience but we do let them know that their wounds are in a way sacred. From our own healing experience we let others know that they too will become okay one day at a time. It’s the gift of imperfection and in this we find the other. Peace.
