Many people living in one day at a time recovery are quick to realize that we don’t find perfection when we come into recovery. To believe we have found perfection, or will eventually find it, is an unrealistic goal of what recovery is all about. Recovery is all about living in imperfection and realistically navigating the joys and adversities found in life while still finding the freedom and the happiness we experience from living in abstinence from our addictions one day at a time. Because of our abstinence we become bold enough to believe we might be able to be supportive to others seeking recovery. And we can one day at a time. We seek progress not perfection. We simply want the humble reality of living manageable lives. It’s a gift. Enjoy it. Peace.
