Many of us living in one day at a time recovery understand the difficult reality of when nothing’s said and done. If we could have read people’s minds we would have heard many wonderful speeches in the midst of many eye-opening interventions that would have saved us from our ruin years before we hit our actual bottom. The sad thing was was wasn’t their silence and their pain enough. Didn’t our impaired reality show itself in all of its actions and conversations. We had no choice but to discover our own desperation. Doing so we became ready to understand “when nothing’s said and done”. Our loved ones were as desperate for us to get help even more than we were. They were afraid. When we find recovery we understand this. Our life and our recovery is our responsibility. That is why we reach out. We realize that silence was enough. Peace.
