Many people living in one day at a time recovery often come to an understanding that as they grow into recovery they become woke. What happens is we start to realize we have compassions and concern not only for ourselves but for other people in their suffering and we also learn how to celebrate their wellness, their accomplishments, and their overall being. Why do we do this? We do this because we know that when we rise to face the day as recovering people who know the reality of love and one day at a time recovery. If people are to criticize us for this we might ask them, “Did you know us when we were not in recovery?” It took a lot of compassion, love, and concern from others to help us grow and we are grateful we have become woke. It’s a big part of our recovery. Peace.
