Most people living in one day at a time recovery understand when the water is bad it will make us sick. This undeniable reality occurs to us should we partake in using anything that makes our ability and logic impaired. The reason we understand this is because when we were actively using we became totally non-functionable in regards to taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, financially, and socially. When we found abstinence and recovery we learned we were sick people when we were using. We compared using to drinking bad water and bad water always makes us sick. Some of us got so sick that we died. Bad water is poison. Other recovering people and experience taught us this. It’s an undeniable reality. Today we can say no because when abstinent we have a choice. This choice is a gift. There is no other reality. Peace.
