Many people living in one day at a time recovery can get caught up in the non-reality of unfair comparisons. In these unfair comparisons we often might see ourselves as less than other people. When we think of ourselves as less than we are often comparing apples to oranges. Even though others have more money and appear to get through life easier than we do this in reality is not always true. When we have been put down by others because our abilities are sometimes limited it is wrong. And should we practice such comparisons we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. In one day at a time recovery we learn we are no better of no worse than anyone else. This is the reality recovery. We often learn self-compassion, love and self-care in the rooms of recovery. We need to stop comparing and live in grace. Peace.
