Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn to trust their own judgement. This happens when we trust our recovery. Although we might struggle at times, we know the reality of our lives. What we should know is people without learned experience truthfully have no leg to stand on when they criticize our recovery. Our reality is that they will, and they do, because they don’t know any better. We learn to let it go though difficult as it might be. When we trust our recovery we know we are capable and valuable human beings, and as capable and valuable people we know when we need help. When we trust our recovery we know who we can ask for help. When we trust our recovery we know the reality of our lives and that we will grow in recovery. We also become fairly self-aware. Peace.
