Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of searching for peace of mind. What we are quick to understand is that peace of mind is in changing what we need to change and accepting what we cannot change. In other words we cannot change the nature of the universe no matter how hard we try but if we are to become and remain abstinent from that which impairs our thinking we will find healthy and manageable lives. This means we will learn to navigate adversity and perhaps gain a bit of wisdom when we do so. One of the greatest gifts we will receive is the one day at a time freedom that recovering people experience one day at a time. This simple approach to life brings much peace with it. Reality can be a wonderful. We just need to step aside and let it happen. Peace.
