Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the sometimes problematic realities of us and all our troubled friends. This reality happens when we subscribe to the reality that we are not enough in living in the present, so therefore we must subscribe to the marketed belief that we will be enough sometime in the future. We reach out for what is often unobtainable (some kind of non-existent utopia). Often happiness is elusive because of the imperfections of today, A wee bit of gratitude and a dash of reasonable thinking helps us, and all our troubled friends, to find happiness, joy, and contentment as we sip coffee and solve all of the undeniable problems of the world. When we are in recovery we learn from our past, we become present in the present, and we have hope for the future. We’ve found reality, freedom, and grace. Peace.
