Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery know one thing. That one thing that we do know is that we do suffer. The Buddha said it is a part of life. We who have been alone, captured in the despair of our addictions and the pains of mental illness know that life is suffering. The sad thing about it is we will even suffer while in recovery. Another sad thing is suffering puts a strain on relationships. Life isn’t always about me. We need learn this. Another reality though is we do need support in organizing our agendas. We people in one day at a time recovery know we need to reach out. No-one should have to organize an agenda on living with life’s suffering by themselves. Even Christ needed friends. That was part of his message. Please reach out. One day at a time.
