Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the process of finding recovery and reality. Both recovery and reality develop with many years of living life one day at a time. Also we understand that as we grow older we understand the reality of time takes time. As we age we are inclined to know ourselves a bit better and we comprehend that we are not as wise as we pretended to be. Another reality is by the simplicity of knowing ourselves better we lose the reality of our own innocence. This becomes part of the process of growth and humility. In this process we realize that we often act not according to reason. Often our actions are based upon our emotional response to life’s situations and the whims of our egos. Our reality and our recovery makes us aware that such responses do not have to control our lives. Sometimes we will even be able to delay our emotional responses and we might even be able to curb the whims of our egos. In as such during our one day at a time journeys we become aware of the process we are experiencing. It’s a gift. Peace.
