Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of living with unhealthy thinking. For most of us we often wondered if were sane at all. Our reality seemed to based on escaping reality through active addiction and unhealthy thought processes. We became delusional, egocentric and fearful people who were on self-destructive journeys. Our reality became to reach out for help from something more powerful than ourselves. What life revealed to us was it was our best thinking that made us delusional, egocentric and fearful people. We came to a belief that we needed to be healthy. In our reality we were sick and tired of being sick and tired. We were people who developed cracks in our armor and when we did reach out the light shone in. Many of us reached out for professional help. Many of us joined people in the rooms of recovery gaining insight into our own dilemma and also its solution. We stopped being alone. We might have even reached out to some conception of God, the spirit or the universe. The idea is we were unhealthy and we needed help to become healthy. Accepting this is imperative to one day at a time recovery. Life reveals this to us. It’s our hope. Peace.
