Many of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of living unmanageable lives. What most of us have discovered is that life will eventually become manageable. It just tends to become our reality. The first difficulty that we face in recovery is getting through physical withdrawal. Often we need a safe environment to do so safely. Some of us needed and need medication to do so. After that we need support be it professional or peer support. Many of us needed or need both and there is a whole bunch of us who sought and seek the intervention of of a divine entity be it called God, the spirit or the universe or whatever else our conception of that entity might be. We needed to and still to this day need to reach out even after years of recovery. It’s our strength and it works. Life will eventually become manageable. In finding this we will become supports for others. That’s how recovery works. It becomes our reality. Peace.
