Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the tragedy of spiritual scarcity. What we have discovered is if we practice spiritual scarcity we are doing so with the belief that love and power are finite. We are saying that there is not enough of either to go around, and that only a select few should benefit from them. This creates a cold, cold world which is cruel and inhumane. This belief is not spiritual, or one day at a time recovery, in any way whatsoever. The very thought that love and power are finite is a ridiculous notion which causes love to fail and power to end. Spiritual scarcity creates hell on earth as it dehumanizes people creating enemies out of our fellow human beings. It causes war, genocide and slavery. History has taught us this. Infinite power grows and continues to grow. Infinite love grows and continues to grow. That is why many of us came into one day at a time recovery. We want to love, be loved, have manageable lives and be set free from the hells we kept falling into. We can’t make life perfect but we do seek infinite spirituality that grows and grows and grows. We learn and recover one day at a time. Peace.
