Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the importance of giving or listening to a drop or two of encouragement. Encouragement goes a long way in helping us participate in the realities of life and recovery. We might be anxious about a new employment opportunity and someone lets us know we got this and we take the job. Perhaps someone is looking into joining us in the rooms of recovery and we go with them until they feel comfortable enough to go on their own. In reality this happens a lot. Perhaps we are training to run our very first marathon and someone tells us that they will be waiting for us at the finish line. We run, we finish, and they are at the finish line joyfully waiting for us. This is the reality of a drop or two of encouragement. It’s a gift. Peace.
