Many people living in one day at a time recovery cautiously subscribe to the concept that we see ourselves as being humbly unique. When we humbly accept our uniqueness, we are actually admitting that unlike other people we cannot consume or partake in substances because they can, and will very easily make our lives a hodgepodge of unmanageable emotional pain. This is the reality of active addiction. When we understand this reality, we become people actively living in one day at a time recovery who now see life as doable and good. Being humbly unique reveals to us the inextricable connection between all recovering people. We are no longer alone. It’s a gift. Peace.
