Some people who are fairly new to living in one day at a time recovery are quick to condemn the realities of the ancient old fools who have been in recovery for a long time, as they emphatically tell us that in early recovery we are still living in a fog, and we should probably listen to the experience of others a bit more than the jumbled up thoughts that stumble around in our minds. In our reality though our motto was “nobody is going to tell me what to do”. It’s a sad thing that happens when we alienate ourselves from the wisdom of others, and refuse to listen to common sense of experience. It is our egos that think they can successfully refute the knowledge discovered from years of successful living. After a few years of recovery we learn we were fools. We just had to learn the hard way. It’s common. Peace.
