Many people living in one day at a time recovery come to the understanding that while we lived an impaired and out of control life we knew no better than what we were doing. When we found this wonderful but sometimes despairing world of one day at a time recovery, especially when we thought about our wild and woolly days, not knowing any better then was how we came to terms with our mistakes. What was once an excuse for our behaviors became the reason for most of the harm or the damage we had done. What we realized was that we were bulls running wild in a china-shop and that we probably could not make amends for everything we had done. This is sometimes a reality. A regrettable reality but a reality nonetheless. We simply knew no better. Today we live in a new reality. We’ve found grace. Peace.
