Most people living in one day at a time recovery understand that the reality of life lets us know that struggles are guaranteed. To believe otherwise would mean we are living a delusional existence in which our struggles become so centered in self that we cannot even recognize that our adversities are keeping us from living the reality of our own lives. For those of us who know this reality understand that active addiction has stolen our souls and has taken away any iota that we might have had in regards to the reality of finding true happiness. The loss of ourselves is a tragedy. When we recognize struggles are guaranteed we have the ability to seek for and also find help. Our new found reality becomes the really real and we become mentors for truth. It becomes our gift. Peace.
