Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of rising times and faded glory. We remember what life was like when we came into early recovery which often brought the new relationship, the new job, and much better shape in our financial reality. Things were really looking up. Life was certainly on the move upward. Then adversity came knocking at our doors and we discovered what faded glory was all about. Perhaps the relationship ended. Perhaps we lost our jobs and our finances became a mess. Adversity was there kicking our door in but we stood there strong and steady ready to face life on life’s on terms. We reached out, stayed abstinent, and prayed. We expected that life would get better and it did. We become grateful. Reality showed up and we cried or we smiled. It’s about resilience It’s all life. Peace.
