Many people living in one day at a time recovery understood when we had hit our limit in regards to how much and how often we would use substances to escape reality. We also hit our limits as to how many times we could be bailed out by our family members. We had to come to terms with the idea that our loved ones’ constant rescuing was a responsibility they no longer wanted in order that they could have their own peace of mind. They discovered if they didn’t stop we would never grow up. When we discovered we had no choice but to be responsible we became responsible. In doing so we gained freedom and gratitude because we found a one day at a time journey that we could truly appreciate. In doing so we learned what life and recovery was really about. Peace.
