Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of relaxing on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The whole idea of living in recovery is to remain abstinent on such days even if we are little bored, a little sad, or even a little lonely. Some of might even think about hitting up a noon hour meeting in the rooms of recovery and perhaps even going for coffee with friends after the meeting. Some of us might turn a rainy Saturday afternoon into a family day. Our reality becomes we can relax in many different ways either by ourselves or with others. Some of us might just have a nap. Reality is reality and relaxing is relaxing and relaxing is a tool that can introduce us to silence. Silence in all reality is a bonus. So we relax and we enjoy. It’s a gift. Peace.
