Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery know we live with the experience of the few. There just aren’t that many people living with mental health conditions complicated by addictions that actually learn how to live in one day at a time recovery. Those of us who find recovery become grateful to be of the few who do find it. We wish we could solve this conundrum and find recovery for us all but we can’t. This is the reality of our disorders. Each and every one of us who find one day at a time recovery know, lived and understand the pain caused by our disorders. It’s as real to us as the ground beneath our feet. If not we are delusional. Both ourselves and our advocates realize we actually help very few people but we have to try. So we move on. Peace.
