Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery eventually realize that there are times that we are looking through a clouded glass. When this happens we do not see very well. Those thoughts of getting a buzz might interfere with our healthy thinking. During these times it is a good idea to talk to someone who can be supportive and understanding. Perhaps what we cannot see is that we are only an arm’s length away from risking our possibilities of having a manageable and happy life. We don’t see the consequences of active addiction. And there are consequences. We just don’t see them. During these times it is a good idea to trust the clarity that others have to see what could happen should we pick up. We need to learn this. These intrusive thoughts will pass. We don’t have to do this all by ourselves. We just need to reach out. One day at a time.
