Many of us who live in one day at a time recovery know what real reality is all about. We know that in real reality remaining abstinent from our addictions offers us the opportunity to live peaceful lives regardless of the periods of stress that life offers all people. Someone told us that this too shall pass. And it does. What many of us discover is we need to participate in self-care. Probably coffee becomes decaf and extra activity ceases. We try and find ways to share the load. Perhaps we need to talk to a professional. We enjoy calm settings. We deal with our responsibilities in small steps. We rest and we relax. And it is important that we accept help. As was said before the real reality is stress passes. Reach out. Peace.
