Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of turning the page. When we do as such we are about to understand the experience and the reality of the unwritten day. What we will uncover could be the writing of something familiar or something totally unknown. In reality many of us read these writings paying no attention to what is on this new page as we ruminate about past pages that were written long ago. We are getting nothing out of the newly turned pages during such ruminations. Sooner or later we learn we are the ones who are writing these pages. When we do this we often change the script and not only do we turn the pages but we start a new chapter. Writing new chapters and turning the pages become liberating endeavors. We learn to let go of the past pages that had become prisons in themselves. Each time we turn a new new page we are writing about hope. We also discover we can pay attention as we read these newly written pages. In as such we are learning we grow. This is the reality of the written word setting us free as we turn the page. We are learning to let go and take ownership of our stories. Some of us do so in therapy or with spiritual advisors. In our reality we turn the page. Peace.
