People living in one day at a time recovery know that wellness requires commitment. Most people who have had a few years of recovery know that wellness accompanied by commitment will not result in perfection but that wellness accompanied by commitment results in imperfect recovery. Our exposure to life and its struggles reveal the sensitivity of our egos and our own self-involved internalized addicted way of thinking. We become our own worst enemy and some of us believe we can only be well when our recovery is perfect. We become well when we realize and accept that life and recovery are beautifully imperfect. Wellness accompanied by commitment give us the ability to participate in our own transformation. We become people living in one day at a time recovery instead of people who are victims of addiction. We become humble and grateful. This allows us to understand freedom from addiction. Peace.
