Many people new to one day at a time recovery believe that once we (for lack of better words) put the plug in the jug their lives will be nothing but steadfast recovery which never waivers in faith, works, or beliefs. In time, and time takes time, they become we and in being of the we, we know true life, and real recovery is not like that. We all have the trials and tribulations and the doubts of one day at a time reality. We have heard that the most natural thing for us to do is use. Our best defense is we just don’t pick up that first one. We reach our and we give back. We trust grace. We think through the struggle and we remain abstinent one day at a time. In all of its imperfections recovery works bringing us just plain old freedom. Enjoy it. Peace.
