Those of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of wanting to be living in a perfect world. Living in a perfect world would be easy, and that sense of ease we sought to be living in brought us to the beginning of addiction as we tried to escape from from the difficult, the painful, and the unfairness of life. What we discover is the escape into the perfect world would not last because we would want, obsessively want and indefinitely need the reassurance and the reaffirming of perfect non-realities to take us out of the perfection of the perfect world and grant us with the touches of adversities and pain to let us know that there is such a thing as perfection but we would not be happy because while always in it we simply cannot see or experience it. Peace.
