There is a crazy freedom that people who are living in one day a time recovery get to experience. We learn to live reasonably happy lives which grants us the ability to be happy, joyous, and free. The reason we can have lives that are happy, joyous, and free is because we know and understand that what we claim is not hypocrisy because we do not claim to be perfect, better, happier, or in any way more spiritually fit than any other person. We know we merely claim to grow in emotional, mental, and spiritual health one day at a time. We understand the bondage of self and we become aware of this bondage when it appears. And it does appear to all of us. It’s called life. This bondage appeared much more when we lived our lives wrapped up solely in the unhealthy circumstances of active concurrent disorders. We know that people are more in love with humanity and life when they are emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy. This world becomes a much better place to live in in one day at a time recovery. We know the control freaks because we can be them, but we also learn to let go. We get better at dealing with stress. But in all reality we know that life has its pain. We can own it. We can process it. And we let it go. This is the crazy freedom that people living in one day at a time recovery get to experience. It’s a gift. Be grateful.
