Many of us living in one day at a time recovery know that one day at a time recovery is actually having the opportunity to hold that tiny bit of magic in our hands from time to time to time. The magic is that we get to live in abstinence from our addiction which creates a freedom few of us really know how to appreciate. This is the freedom for one day and one day only that we do not have to live in constant struggle with ourselves in which we have to choose whether to pick up and use or whether we have to pick up the phone and reach out for help. Many of us choose to pick up the phone. In doing so we experience that tiny bit of magic which many of us call grace. It keeps us free from active addiction. We’ve found hope. Peace.
