Many of us who are living in one day at a time recovery understand that stairways also descend. It is the reality of not only living in active addiction it is also the reality of living life. Sometimes when we are caught in what appears to be the reality of an ever descending staircase we panic. In genuine desperation we reach out for help. Since we know we need help we grab onto a banister and grace gives us the ability to then grab onto the hand of the other which in reality is the hand of God, the spirit, or the universe working in and through the reality of the hands of other people. We know this from experience. We do not have to face life, reality, or descending staircases alone and the climb of the journey begins again. The other has taught us this. Peace.
