Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of anxiety. Anxiety usually hits us when we’re not ready for it. When this happens we might find ourselves in the middle of a panic attack which leaves us unable to deal with adversity at that moment. What happens is in a panic attack we react instead of respond and we lose our calm. Arguments happen when we don’t respond calmly and the words “I am sorry” will be need to be said. Hopefully we have found our calm by then and gentleness takes root. Panic attacks are hard on everyone. When we are calm we are living in the solution and living in the solution is how we deal with anxiety. We will find it. Breathe. Find the calm and be the gentle. Peace.
