Some of us living in one day at a time recovery have heard what goes around comes around. Some of us don’t really subscribe to this idea especially when what goes around subscribes to the act of revenge on those who have wronged us. We are more than likely to believe in forgiveness and grace. What we are trying to say is we are not big fans of imposing bad karma on others. What we have discovered is receiving grace and forgiveness is common ground for those of us living in recovery. We do well to remember this. What we understand about life when we come into recovery is there is already enough suffering in the world. Most of us just want to share a little kindness, peace, and goodwill. In one day at a time recovery we learn not to throw stones. Perhaps in doing so we are passing good karma on to others. Perhaps we will even help people like us find one day at a time recovery. It’s a lesson in humility and human reality. Peace.
