It's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, I think. Getting wrapped up in the present, in the struggles of the moment, is something very human. Sometimes I seem to believe that I shouldn't be able to make mistakes anymore because I'm in recovery now, and I must be perfect -- despite the fact that I will never be perfect as to err is human.
The other day, someone very close to me who knows all about my past and my problems, asked me if I thought it has gotten any easier. The question threw me off balance because I don't think I'd ever really considered it. I'd been trying to take things one day at a time and as a result had forgotten to consider the past...even if briefly. I thought about it and had a realization - that things are easier. They are better.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that the only way I've found that this program works is in the moment, but I think we should all remember where we have come from if only to remind us how much better things are today.
:pals: Hope everyone here is well.
