Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of reality’s reliability. This reality is that if we don’t pick up that first drink, puff, hit, pill, or snort we won’t return to active addiction. We know (and most of us know from experience) that we can rely on this, and that this is grace, and that this grace keeps us living in one day at a time recovery. Another reliable reality is if we meet with others in the rooms of recovery they will tell us to stay away from that first one because many of us thought we could have just one only to find that we could not. It’s a dangerous thing to do. Some of us die because of it. We need to understand this. Please reach out. You’re worth it. Peace.
