Many people who are living in one day at a time recovery write in journals, or in notebooks, the realities of our lives. We do this because we want to learn what we have to deal with when we attempt to live life on life’s on terms. We will get to know ourselves and we will discover we cannot unlearn what we have learned. This is a step in self-awareness. If we haven’t learned to be gentle with ourselves now is the time to do so. It will be a lot to take in in the beginning. Most of us learn how to pray at this time. Twelve step programs can help us face our truths. We have to be gentle with ourselves. We will also learn that God, the spirit, or the universe loves us. In general we learn the beginning of trust. Growth is beginning. Peace.
