Many people living in one day at a time recovery live under a patched up sky. This is the reality of living a mended life. Not only does it take the love of God, the spirit or the universe to help us heal but we also need the love of people we are akin with. Many of us have found such love in the openness and the honesty from people we have met in the rooms of recovery. They have shared their experience, strength and hope with us. When we start to see, and when we start to hear, we understand we are the recipients of compassionate love. Such acts help to patch up the holes in our sky and in doing so our skies are often sunny and blue. We get to understand the freedom of one day at a time recovery. We even get to experience this freedom should our skies cloud over and the rain start to fall. Our reality is that our patched up sky can handle the rain because God, the spirit and the universe working through those we are akin with have helped us to find shelter from the rain by helping us to build a home in the rooms of one day at a time recovery. This freedom we have is the joy of living under a patched up sky. It’s one of the greatest gifts we will experience. We’ve received our lives back. Peace.
