For those of us who have lived in an unreal, or perhaps delusional world, will find much joy in reality. Mental health conditions complicated with addictions can often take us away from the real world of love, friendship, and freedom from the bondage of self. Awakening from a world in which we are held hostage, and being able to to be responsible for our health and well being is a great joy that we can find one day at a time. Some days can be difficult but reality can bring with it reasonable happiness and in this we can be happy, joyous, and free. We will discover the real self that lives within us. This is the self that has the courage to reach out for help to live in the joy of reality, and has the gratitude to try and give back to try and help others.
