Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn to identify with other recovering people. Identifying with other recovering people goes a whole lot further than does comparing ourselves with them. When we identify we find what there is in common with others instead of what is different. Finding differences is the pathway to exclusion instead of a journey of belonging. When we get past our know it all mentality we learn the importance of this. We all belong because we are all inextricably connected to each other and we share a common bond which is we are all either trying to find or remain in one day at a time recovery. Knowing this we are no longer alone. Peace.
