In the reality of living in one day at a time recovery many of us are familiar with club houses, activity centers and retirement homes. These are places we might have been members of or perhaps visited our senior members at from time to time. In club houses there were meetings and games. Sometimes there were breakfasts and dinners. In activity centers some of us participated in the arts. We might have had meals with others. We also might have learned life skills in these centers, and in both places we got to spend time in camaraderie with those we are akin with. As the years go by some of us move into retirement homes because it makes life easier. It’s the reality of living. We are a gathering species that does better in groups. This is the reality of living in recovery. It’s the connection or what we call the inextricable connection with those who seek one day at a time recovery. For the experience of a gathered recovery we are grateful. That’s how it works. Peace.
