Many people who learn or are learning to live in one day at a time recovery also understand that they themselves are responsible for their own recovery. When we understand this reality we understand the reality that we don’t have to face these responsibilities alone. We need to know that it is alright to reach out for help, and when we do so we are securing a far better chance of living happier lives abstinent from whatever addiction it is or was that held us in its cages. Some of us find that if we are people who seek support in the rooms of recovery we understand that even though we are not responsible for our disease (addiction) we are responsible for our recovery. What many of us have discovered is that being a person who commits to, and frequently attends gatherings in the rooms of recovery we are actually people who feel the need to be accountable for staying and living in one day at a time recovery. If we don’t quite get it the first time we try, many of us keep coming back or kept coming back until we get or got it. When we do get this we understand responsibility. Reality and life become a healthier and happier endeavor. Be responsible. Peace.
