Those of us living in one day at a time recovery learn we have opportunities to grow and to learn. As we grow we learn recovery offers us the gift of personal empowerment. We become aware of our reality and in that reality we become able to set goals for ourselves. One day at a time recovery empowers us to become real and true to the wellness in our lives. In our wellness we have a voice that will be sound and reliable, and we need to be well to create opportunity. Then we can help to empower others. Before finding recovery many of us lived tragic lives. We know what others are still struggling with. Everyone needs opportunity – especially the vulnerable, the disabled, and the marginalized. We need to be well and we need help to become so. After realizing this many of us found personal empowerment in the new found wellness we discovered. We managed to get work. Some part-time – some full-time. Regardless of work or not, many of us became responsible and productive people. We became better one day at a time. Others can too. Create realistic opportunities. This is empowerment. Peace.
