Most people living in one day at a time recovery know that they will never be perfect and if we did manage to become perfect it would probably be a very lonely place. If we did manage to become perfect who could truly relate to us. As perfect people wouldn’t we always have to be in control. Would we drive so-called regular people into fits of frustration with our persistent direction and advice. Would we never have the opportunity of being able to make a mistake and say I’m sorry and I was wrong. In addition to this, what kind of pressure would we put on our kids to be just like us. And most importantly, would we believe that we’d have to be God. No thanks. Most of us have enough control issues as it is. We just want to be regular recovering people. Spiritual misfits if we may. This way we understand one day at a time recovery and we understand grace. It’s our greatest gift. Peace.
