Many people living in one day at a time recovery seek out to live a life of being in recovery because the cost is too high when we live in a life of active addiction. Active addiction cost us our mental and spiritual health while rapidly attacking our physical health to the very point that we could very well die. Suicide, overdose, and avoidable accidental death are more than common to those we are akin with. Those of us who find recovery are the lucky ones. Often we are the ones who our neighbors said were the walking dead. Our spiritual tombstone could be clearly seen in our eyes. Treatment and support from our peers brought us the reality of recovery. One day at a time we learned that we had paid our dues. The cost is too high to continue doing so. Reach out. Peace.
