Many people living in one day at a time recovery wrestle with thoughts that provoke anxiety. In our suffering (and it is suffering), we often turn to the pen trying to create a better reality for ourselves. In doing so we are shadow boxing with our own pain, and we actually discover that we are not always in control in this journey that we call living in recovery (or life). Some people can easily roll with such circumstances but many of us struggle with such realities. In such reality some of us discover that we need to reach out for help. Some of us need counselling or medication to help us to climb out of the thorn bushes. The creation of the now, or the reality of our pen, reveals to us that we need to be heard. When we do reach out we are in actually starting to let go. It’s the brave thing to do. Peace.
