Some people living in one day at a time recovery understand that when we journal we are opening doors to self-awareness and we surrender to our reality making us ever-present to participate in life, reality, and recovery. We discover the beginnings of our true-selves which makes us aware and receptive of the love and grace given to us in the inextricable connection that we share with other recovering people and humanity at large. It is a terrifying and wonderful experience founded in our bonds of human imperfection and our shared gift of human desperation. Journaling solidifies the reality of hope. Patience reveals to us the reality of our true-selves. It’s our shared experience. The influence of our shadow-selves no longer controls us. We find a deeper sense of freedom. Peace.
