Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that sometimes work is work. We are not just talking about jobs or careers which we draw our incomes from, we’re talking about everyday activities that we do to keep us healthy and living in recovery. Sometimes, the support meetings we go to that help us to invest time in our recovery and that also act as insurance policy against relapse isn’t always the place we want to be. Sometimes the papers that pile high stacked upon our desk are papers we just don’t want to deal with just at the present moment. These are often hiccups of feeling anxious, overwhelmed and depressed. Remember we are saying hiccups. We are not talking about acute or chronic full blown conditions that we need immediate medical care for. We are talking about the blahs or the work is just work kind of thing that might even be the things that we usually enjoy doing. Maybe we need to take a break. Maybe we need help with what needs to be done. Often we reach and someone lends us a hand. Remember that phrase (lends us a hand). That hand is something we are willing to pay forward when the opportunity arrives and we can do as such because we choose to live in one day at a time recovery even when work is just work. We keep investing in our recovery. This is the challenge and the gift of freedom. Welcome to reality. Peace.
