There is a reality that many people in one day at a time recovery tend to follow. This reality is when they come to another person with a problem, their solution is already made. They just need reassurance from one, two, or several others. Often enough, they are skating a slippery slope being influenced by their own misguided thinking. This reality is the reality of many people. We can see a differing opinion as criticism. Some of us learn just to let others make their own decisions. And the funny thing is, we all are capable of making decisions based on our own misguided thoughts. If we are not paying attention we will continue to do so. Many of our decisions are based on fear. Hopefully, when we learn to pay attention, we will know this. Then we learn a new reality. The wisdom to know the difference.
