People living in one day at a time recovery live humble lives. In all honesty we find life to be a humble adventure. This is the reality of one day at a time recovery. What we have discovered while on this humble adventure is that we don’t know everything. In all our humility, understanding that we don’t know everything is the foundation of everything we know. What we have learned is the reality of equality. We are no better, or no worse, than any other human being. This is humble belonging. What we do understand is our one day at a time recovery is like a rose. It’s a beautiful thing but it also has thorns. What some of us come to understand is how important maintaining our recovery is. We understand that we are to give our recovery away. When we are giving away our recovery, we are participating in keeping ourselves healthy, humble and real. In doing so, we are actually helping people. We live responsible lives. Doing so is simple but it isn’t always easy. Humble people know this. We learn to reach out when needed. We know the rose has its thorns. In all reality this humble adventure has much joy in it. Relish it and share it with others when you can. Peace.
