Many people who live in one day at a time recovery are good at catching stones. They became good at catching stones meant for us because of their unselfish endeavors. Also they believe our inherent dignity should be respected by all people. These people advocate for our health and welfare. They believe we need opportunity. They create opportunity. In order that we can take advantage of such opportunities, they teach us how to catch stones ourselves. We toss these stones aside and walk away to find one day at a time recovery. Some of us catch stones for those of us who are yet unable to catch them for themselves. We strive for the day that others will stop throwing stones. This is the realistic hope of a selfless society. Our reality is that we need to participate. When we do we believe that others will probably throw way fewer stones. Thanks to the stone catchers, we can become responsible recovering people. Perhaps we will all take our stones and build a road towards a better tomorrow. Maybe we will even start building one today. It’s not an unreasonable reality. Peace.
