Many people living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like to heave feelings of discomfort which might make us feel paralyzed. We might also feel like there is something crawling in our beings all at the same time. Many of us have experienced this while craving for our drug of choice and we could say that we were experiencing what was once called the Heebie Jeebies. Experiencing the Heebie Jeebies is a very difficult thing to do especially in early abstinence. To get through these times many of us seek help from others as we attend 12 step meetings. What we understand is we don’t have to face these these feelings alone. If we hang on we will discover that there is divine intervention at work. Options just happen and we make it through another day. What once was impossible now happens. We stay abstinent. We understand belonging and we understand freedom from active addiction. Reality and recovery are doable. We know grace. Peace.
