Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery do not feign modesty. Our reality is that we try to subscribe to the concept of humility, and in this humility we know that we do not have all the answers as to how to find or stay in the reality of recovery. We know we are no better or no worse than any other person and we know we are just an arm’s length away from consuming what in all reality could lead to a full-blown relapse. Feigning modesty could be a form of self-righteousness and many of us believe we lost our ability to be self-righteous when we proclaimed ourselves to be addicts. Our reality is we try to live with a bit of humility but there are still times we fall short. It leaves a bitter taste on our tongue that we don’t like. Peace.
