Those of us living in one day at a time recovery learn the reality of life. Our reality is recovery doesn’t end all our difficulties but we do understand the reality of living well. Living well helps to prevent problems that seem to pile up and pile up. One such prevention tool is we learn to be grateful. Gratitude is a mindset which creates happiness which allows us to be reasonable and realistic. In such we find joy and a semblance of freedom. Then we discover that living well is freedom in itself. More often than not one day at a time recovery creates good and manageable lives for us. Manageable lives and living in recovery enables us to deal with adversity and stress to a much greater degree than before we learned how to live well. In doing so we learn how to have healthy relationships with give and take and we have the ability to trust and be trusted. We learn how to reach out. Living well helps us to understand that we don’t have to experience the joys and difficulties of life alone. No-one is an island. We learn to live well. Please join us. Peace.
