Some of us living in one day at a time recovery question, and worry about whether we fit in with others who frequent the rooms of recovery. When we have been around the rooms for a few years we come to understand that it is not a matter of fitting in, it is a matter of belonging. Here is our answer. When we stop trying to exclude ourselves we most definitely belong. We belong when we realize we have a desire to stop using. When we have stopped using for a while maybe we can even give a little something back to help others. Perhaps we become the people who put on coffee which is a really good experience. The rooms are not about fitting in. Trying to fit in was part of our problem. We simply need to know and accept that we belong. It’s a gift. Peace.
