Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that hope always is and we believe that hope always springs forth even in the most difficult of times. Often when hope springs forth we find that we felt alone and maybe even abandoned but a breath, a wish, or a cry for help becomes a moment of trust which is that even though we feel totally unprepared to deal with difficulties that seem insurmountable we find a moment of calm, a flash of courage, and a peace that comes calmly out of the blue. Some of us believe that this is what some religious people call receiving a peace that surpasses all understanding. The peculiar thing is we might even have to fall apart before this peace finds us. This is reality; hope springs forth. It’s a one day at a time reality. Peace.
