Many people living in one day at a time recovery cope with life better now that they have learned certain realities. One of these realities is we have to deal with difficult conditions. Some of us are pretty resilient in doing so. Another reality is some of us, like many others, struggle with difficult conditions. We need support in order to be resilient enough to face certain adversities. There is nothing wrong with needing support. This is the reality of resilience. Even the most resilient of people have to turn, ask, and accept support when life’s conditions become too difficult for any one person to deal with. Reaching out helps to develop the most resilient of people. Sounds a bit like a paradox but it isn’t. People grow to become resilient. Some of us even pray. When we do this we learn to understand that God, the spirit, or the universe just might be on our side and we will be okay. When we have a support network of helpful people we understand what being resilient is all about. It’s give and take and growing one day at a time. Supportive people make resilient people. Become resilient. Reach out. Peace
