Some people who live in one day at a time recovery find recovery because when we were living in active addiction we were living like prodigal children. We lavishly spent money that we didn’t have to spend on getting high, drunk or stoned and in this state we spent even more money giving it away as if our bank accounts automatically replenished every cent we lost just because – well, we were us. This is the reality of active addiction and impaired thinking. It can lead us to a terrible bottom. Some people actually lose fortunes because of this. Some of us lose our rent money and have no money for groceries let alone some of the other necessities of life. Some of us die. It’s a cold cruel reality. We need to reach out before this happens. We need to reach out! Our reality can be better. We deserve the chance to grow and find one day at a time recovery. We deserve the chance to be free. Peace.
