When you ask people in one day at a time recovery how life is going they might answer that it’s mostly good enough – sometimes worse – but often better. This is the reality of actually living in imperfect one day at a time recovery. This is the gift of being comfortable in our own skin which in itself brings with it varying degrees of gratitude. It doesn’t mean we don’t have confusion and doubt. Nor does it mean we won’t have heart-ache, pain and hard times. These difficulties are the sometimes worse days. But in reality and recovery the days are mostly good enough. They’re doable, likeable and usually pleasant days in which we understand what being comfortable in our own skin really is which is good. Then there are the days that are better than good. On these days we understand grace. Mostly good enough – sometimes worse – but often better. It’s reality. Peace.
