Some people living in one day at a time recovery try to write on a daily basis. In doing so we are organizing thoughts. In doing so we are creating coherent thoughts of our being. Some of us share our thoughts on the web in hopes that we might help someone know that they are not alone living with mental health disorders that are complicated by addictions. We try and let them know that they too can live in one day at a time recovery. We know that we don’t want to be role models. Few people with any time in recovery would choose to want that. And we know that we lack a certain amount of righteousness, and if we claim we don’t, we are probably standing on thin ice. In addition to this we know we found the gift of desperation, and today we create coherent thoughts of our being. When you read this you are reading our worth and the worth of our one day at a time recovery. We are the ones who live with the stigma but, “If you cut us do we not bleed…” Shakespeare “The Merchant of Venice”. Peace.
