Many people living in one day at a time recovery who have been around recovery for a long time continue working at it daily because they know to stay healthy they have to continue to do so. We might even say that we are still trying to figure it out. What some of us are figuring is we live a day at a time and we live one day at a time recovery because many of us don’t consider ourselves recovered. Even those who say that they are recovered still continue practicing one day at a time recovery. We seem to have a common goal which is we want to be healthy, stay healthy, and continue on being healthy. Another part of our common goal is we don’t want to fall back into active addiction so we practice abstinence on a daily basis. Some of us know the reality of relapse even after being in recovery for a long time. Most of us fear the idea of a chemically induced relapse but fear alone doesn’t insure good health. In regards to living healthy we have to keep working at it. Meetings, prayer, medication (for some), reaching out, and giving back. This is a recipe for a healthy life. Enjoy it. It’s all a gift. Peace.
