Many people living in one day at a time recovery eventually understand that when we had hit our bottom it was the beginning of reality interrupted. A life of self-will running riot, meaning we thought only of participating in life while using, and using was our only way of coping with the realities of life, that bottom that we hit revealed to us we had no choice but to stop. This brought us to a desperation which we now understand was a gift, and we reached out for help very often with the plea, “God help me”. And help he did. Many of us needed a safe environment to get help. A hospital or a detox often became light in our turmoil. Our using life became totally interrupted. Opportunity was now knocking at our door. This was the start of a new life. Freedom found us. We had hope. Today we have peace. Reality is a wonderful thing today. We are grateful. Thank God for interruptions. Peace.
