Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that the financial cost of getting support from people in the rooms of recovery is truly scandalous. The reason we say that is because people in the rooms will help us to learn how we can help ourselves at the financial cost of absolutely nothing. There is no charge at least from them. When we listen a bit we will see the big financial cost was one that we had already paid which was to stay impaired time and time again. We also spent a lot of money foolishly and as irresponsible as we could. We knew no better. The reality of paying rent for our space is a cost many of gladly give to. If we don’t have it we are told don’t worry about it. We have all been there. Can we say when someone puts a couple of bucks in a basket to cover the expenses of the room is scandalous. Absolutely not. But if we can’t it’s cool. We’re realists. Peace.
