Many people living life one day at a time learn that being in recovery is the beginning of everything. Living in recovery is the beginning of surrender and the beginning of freedom. We then learn that freedom becomes the beginning of responsibility and that responsibility is a personal endeavor. This personal endeavor is done with the help of others by at times helping others. We also learn that fear is the beginning of courage and that courage is the beginning of fear. What we discover is our black and white world begins to see just one way to recovery but, in reality recovery is multi-shaded, and multi-colored. What a terrified and brave life we live. It’s the beginning of everything. Peace.
