Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that doughnuts don’t always have holes, rainbows aren’t always seen, and paintings aren’t always paint by numbers. In other words people aren’t always the same and recovery doesn’t always advance in a straight line. Now that we know this we need to understand that it is our own resilience given to us through God’s grace that makes it possible for us to string day after day together so that we might get to experience long-term abstinence which gives us the opportunity to see that we are all different yet we are all the same. We just want the troubles to end and they do one day at a time. What we are saying is that our beliefs expand as we grow. It’s a step in life’s continuing development and it’s one of life’s greatest gifts. Peace.
