When we are living in one day a time recovery we realize that we have to roll with the punches that life hits us with. Even when we are resilient people it is important not to take a hit square on the jaw for fear of what damage might occur because of it. If you are experiencing adversities, like so many of us do, you have probably been helped back up and then taken back to your corner by caring people. These people might even throw in the towel to stop the adversity from really hurting us. Civilized people living in civilized societies create fail-safes in order that we can roll with the punches and survive in what can be perceived as a cruel and unjust world. People in community, whether community is small like the size of a church group or large like the size of a country can be very kind to us. And you can believe them when they say that they have had to learn to roll with the punches too. Their natural abilities, empathy and sense of others has inspired such folks to believe and contribute not only for themselves but also for the good for others. These others include us and some of us are these good people. This is the better-half of reality in which we live one day at a time as we roll with the punches that hit us. It’s a part of growth. Peace.
