What most people living in one day at a time recovery get to understand is that recovery isn’t just esoteric imaginings. Recovery is meant to be simple enough for common folk to understand, and in its simplicity we learn the reality of living life and recovery just one day at a time. It is one day at a time abstinence that has made it possible for many of us to find long-term recovery and be or become healthy, happy, joyous, and free people. We understand that both life and recovery have adversities that we will have to face. We understand that many of us who had gained some esoteric knowledge about addiction were certain to relapse because we were too smart to keep recovery simple and realistic. People who we meet in the rooms of recovery teach us that and in as such we surrender to the reality of grace. Peace.
