Many people living in one day at a time recovery come to understand that they are living in a world full of teachers. As we pick and choose who our teachers are we are discovering that the teachers we have chosen can be, or were, every bit as messed up as we are or we were. We also discover few are our teachers who we can put up on pedestals. They too are human, and they can fall and stumble just as badly as anyone else can. Another reality we understand is our teachers who tell us what we must do are definitely walking on thin ice. Those of us who have found the rooms of recovery know this. A good teacher is someone who remains a student and leads by example. It’s our greatest strength and it’s our humble reality. We’re always students. For this we are grateful. Peace.
