Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that pride is a double-edged sword. Many of us who come into recovery understand that if we are currently unemployed we should try and find work. As we begin our search we might believe that some work is below us. This can keep us unemployed for a long time. On the other hand, if we do find employment, and if we take pride in our work, employers might consider us as assets who have the right attitude as employees. Advancement and raises happen to those of us do take pride in our work. A good employee also has humility. It’s a reality. it is also a beneficial life skill because some people refuse to be told what to do. Here is a little secret in the work-world. Our supervisors can tell us what to do. It’s a reality. Peace.
