Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that it is more than probable that we will get to experience the reality of manageable living. Manageable living is not living perfect and totally wonderful lives it is dealing with the present day as best we can while remaining abstinent from the reality of active addiction. Abstinence creates an opportunity for us to become reasonable and content people. We might say we become reasonable happy people who experience the gift of joy because we practice the responsibility and passion of gratitude. When we are in recovery gratitude is more than doable. As Leonard Cohen would say recovery draws from our hearts the reality of hallelujah. It is more than probable that we find this gift of living manageable lives one day at a time. Peace.
