Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that others will say the same thing but in different words. This gives them and us a sense of belonging and this gives us the feeling of an inextricable connection with others. We lose the sense of aloneness we once had when were living in active addiction. Active addiction is a bad thing for anyone. Should we survive our bottoms we often discover the gift of desperation. We just have to remain abstinent long enough to understand that our recovery is all grace and that we have to do a bit of work to live in a one day at a time reality. Most of us say the same thing but in different words. We just need to really listen and in this we find wellness and freedom. It’s a reality that we are grateful for. Peace.
