Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that one day at a time recovery and one day at a time living is the only way to grow in the realities of life. The funny thing is that it will probably take a few hard knocks and a few absolutely wicked difficult situations for us to realize that one day at a time survival and one day at a time sobriety is something that takes one day at a time. After a few years many of us realize that it takes one day one day one days for the years to pile up and perhaps then we are still telling people that recovery is one day at a time. By then we are probably humble enough to realize that recovery is a one day at a time gift. For this we thank God. Peace.
