Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand and experience the reality of when reasoning begins. This is the reality of knowing our limitations and understanding the reality of being able to follow directions. One of the limitations we have as people is that we cannot expect the benefits of one day at a time recovery if we will not abide in the reality that we all need support. In other words life and recovery can be difficult. This is the reality of human limitation. To remedy this we seek out support (be it professional or peer). We will also need to follow direction. Should we be able to do this is the reality of when reasoning begins. We realize we don’t have to do life and recovery all by ourselves. We get to experience the reality of being free from the bondage of active addiction. It’s a remarkable gift. Peace.
