Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that when they need help it is absolutely necessary that they become brave enough to reach out. Often we did so by signing into hospitals, rehabs, and detox facilities. In doing so we will learn the patterns we are forming and in desperation we become teachable. We reach out for help. We learn that without abstinence recovery is impossible. Without abstinence we will not be healthy. And without abstinence we will not find freedom from active addiction. Hospitals, rehabs, and detox facilities can only keep us safe while we are there. We know this and knowing this we join others in the rooms of recovery where continuing abstinence and one day at a time recovery become a possibility. We become brave souls with a willingness to learn. We have found the gift of hope. Peace.
