Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery ask ourselves a question. The question is, “Can we captain our own ships?” We believe we can but what we really want to know is can we captain our own ships like a seasoned veteran. The first thing we need to know is we would need help. We need to know this because captains captain ships in all kinds of weather. By then we realize we need to pray. We know we would have trust others. One day at a time we would have to trust ourselves. We would even have to retire to our quarters and turn our ships over to those we trust. Again we pray. Then we would realize that we could captain our own ships, but would we want to. Not by ourselves so again we pray. We didn’t make the stars.
