Those of us living in one day at a time recovery believe that life offers an abundance of hope. It is a purposeful reality even though it appears to often hide from us. In our darkest days we know hope is because it has to be. Our experience in recovery has taught us this. We have seen ourselves, and others rise from the ashes of despair. We have reached out to others, and others have reached out to us. In doing so not only did we share the bond of desperation, we share the gift of hope. What we have seen, and what we have experienced is the abundance of hope. We don’t believe that we live with toxic positivity. We believe that in reaching out we find support. In this support we see that we too can be healthy and well. When we are well we will see the reality of adversity and our reality tells us we do not have to face difficulties alone. We reach out. We give back. Hope is a purposeful reality. We have seen it and experienced it far too often not to believe it exist. It simply has to be. Peace.
