People living in one day at a time recovery know that recovery has its ups and downs. Sometimes, when we are up, we want to be around people. Sometimes, when we are down, we want to be around people. This is the reality of recovery. Sometimes, up or down, we want to be alone. Energy has the ability to change, and so can our choices. Sometimes rest will help us to recharge our batteries and bring us out of a melancholy mood. Sometimes practicing gratitude can initiate a change in our energy giving us a more positive outlook for the day. Sometimes we are just okay. A little somber but okay. Sometimes okay is a wonderful place to be. Sometimes we have nothing to say. Sometimes we do. When we are reviewing our recovery we know life has its up and downs. This is recovery’s challenge of sometimes. Peace.
