Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of plain old denial. Most of us who truly understand what denial truly is is that we are people who have relapsed back into active addiction after having a bit of time being abstinent. We discovered that active addiction only gets worse. Constant vigilance and the much needed support that we can find in the rooms of recovery teaches us the reality of being responsible enough to reach out to each other one day at a time. In this, and because of this, we discover the reality of divine intervention. We need not succumb to the cravings and the callings of active addiction. Just ask those of us who have learned the hard way. We need to accept reality. Reach out. Peace.
