Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that when they first become abstinent they do so with a little bit of knowledge. That knowledge is that with the help of others and if we don’t pick up that first drink, puff, snort, or hit things are more that likely going to work out for us. It sounds kind of simple but it isn’t and it is. This is how early recovery happens and we often do so in the rooms of recovery. We often learned that we reached out for help because we were in trouble. Years later we will see that our desperation brought us the gift of desperation which made it possible for us to live happy, joyous, and free lives. This little bit of knowledge saves our lives and it bears with it new horizons. Pay attention and enjoy them. Peace.
