Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of good ideas. The best idea that any recovering person ever had was to reach out for help to find abstinence from whatever it was that impaired our judgement and made us captive to the chains of active addiction. Those of us who reached out were always a bit more successful than those of us who initially tried to find abstinence with no help whatsoever. Those of us who reached out to professionals for help and then turned to our peers for support had opportunities to find recovery. Some of us found one day at a time recovery immediately but some of us didn’t. Those of us who didn’t reached out again. Eventually something stuck we too became abstinent. We realized reaching out is a good idea. It works. Peace.
