Many of us living in one day at a time recovery are people with a lot of experience. Living with experience that we learn nothing from is like having faith without action when action is required. It doesn’t help much. Even though we have many experiences that can teach us a lot about living many times we don’t learn too much. We call this experience without learned knowledge. This happens when we are still in the fog of early recovery. The fact that we can do well during these times is simple grace. Usually people are watching out for us at such times. Hopefully, before too long, we develop learned knowledge from our experience. This is the gift of experience and learned knowledge complimenting each other. We understand the importance of one day at a time living and that it is born of experience and leaned knowledge. When we understand this is a tried and tested reality, we learn to understand that we can face anything for one day. We learn the reality of this too shall pass and when needed we understand that we have hope for a better tomorrow. We reach out to others when we need to and we give back. These are simple realities of learned knowledge from experience. Some call it wisdom. Truthfully it’s grace. Peace.
