Many of us who live in recovery are reinventing freedom. We do so by being of service to others and by complying with abstinence one day at a time. When we do this we are free from active addiction and we no longer live in the pain of the bondage to whatever it is that enslaves our beings. Our being was so impaired that we couldn’t see the harm we were doing to others. Such an existence is our greatest pain. Some of us cannot say we don’t have regrets. It’s our reality. We accept this and find freedom in one day at a time recovery. The monkey is off our back. A new life is begun. We have no other option. Those of us living with a mental health disorder need to understand this. In our recovery a new life is begun. One day at a time recovery is our freedom. We take solace in this. Peace.
