What many people living in one day at a time recovery come to understand is that when we grow in recovery we are actually stumbling to our feet. As we stumble to our feet we are not only seeing our wayward excursions or our self-centered survival beliefs, we see the reality of our faith. Such faith is as individuals we have stumbled and risen many times not only in active addiction but during our one day at a time recovery as well. This is what life is all about. Not only in our stumbling but in our stumbling so badly that we rise to our feet. This becomes the reality of our growth one day at a time. As Richard Rohr would say – we have fallen upward. Hang on and experience the growth and watch the joy begin. Not only in ourselves but in everyone else as well. It’s a continuing journey. Peace.
