Those of us who have been living in one day at a time recovery for a substantial amount of time understand that time changes everything. This is because of the reality of passing years and aging. We have heard that it is a privilege many people don’t get to experience. As the years have passed by many of us become grateful for simple things like being awakened as recovering people. What we understand is the opportunity to live freely from active addiction brings with it gifts of understanding and experience. We learn coping skill that had eluded us in previous years and we have become a bit more flexible. We had to learn these skills or the passing years would have been very difficult to navigate. Time changes everything but it brings with resilience. It’s called growth. We learn how to let go of what we cannot change. Peace.
