People living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of being diamonds in the rough. If we are living in a humble reality we really don’t have much of a problem accepting this because we know that every diamond was at some time nothing more than a chunk of coal. Becoming and being diamonds in the rough is more than good enough for most of us. We know that it is the grace of God, the spirit, or the universe that has transformed us and we are humble enough to always remember this. Our intrinsic value is that we have always had intrinsic value. Our past is our greatest teacher. It brought us into one day at a time recovery. We know our reality. Peace.
