People living in one day at a time recovery are people who find direction in the darkness. What we have discovered is when darkness comes, or when darkness came, it was, or is, the really dark. The darkness ropes us into reality, but while living in reality we find the darkness can only lead us in its ever present luminous recovery. What we are saying is that we get to know ourselves and we get to experience the reality of resilience. We become the recipients of grace. Pain has a way of lighting the dark. So does love. By looking into the face of the other we find one day at a time recovery. We understand the joy and freedom in abstinence. The darkness blinds us no more. Peace.
