Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the the upside-down world of active addiction. This occurs when we treat family like strangers and we treat strangers like family. What we don’t understand is that active addiction distorts our moral compass and family responsibilities seem to just go out the window making us participants in the world of irresponsibility while existing only for self. Eventually, we all suffer because of this and most of us will either bottom out and cause harm not only to ourselves but also to those we love. The pain of this often forces us to reach out for help. Because of this pain we have hope and we find one day at a time recovery. Reach out and find the gift of desperation. We all need help. Peace.
