Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of wanting to be of value in helping others to find the reality and the freedom of one day at a time recovery. This is the usual want of people who are fairly new to recovery (less than a year of abstinence). We call this the beginner’s picture. It happens to us because of our gratitude and the need to pay it forward. There is a fair amount of recovering people who become professionals who help people with our disorders find one day at a time wellness. This is the extension or fruition of the beginner’s picture. They’re a living legacy of one day at a time recovery. Many of them do this for many, many years. The rest of us – we’re grateful for them. They’ve helped save many lives. Peace.
