Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand and experience the gifts of a clear head and freedom from the bondage of active addiction. Both of these two little joys help with the evolution of our souls, or what we also call our journey in which we discover and witness the reality of our true-selves. This is the part of us that for recovery’s purpose is loving, compassionate, kind, and resilient even in the face of adversity. We share this reality with others, be they family, close friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We will not be perfect but we will share in the workings and responsibilities of life and recovery. For most of us it is a staggered reality of peace and grace. It’s the gift of our growing reality. Peace.
