Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that abstinence often leads us to the beginning of new ties. The new ties that we begin to develop often occur in the realities of relationships, jobs, studies, and hobbies. Those of us who like to participate in the rooms of recovery often build and develop new friendships with people we meet in the rooms. Some recovering people also start new jobs and some even become people who work with other recovering people. This is more common than we might think. Some of us go back to school and further our studies. Some of us start new hobbies and pastimes. Perhaps we paint, exercise, or create or collect music. These are all some of the natural activities of recovery that start anew or in some cases become active again. They all help. Welcome to recovery. Welcome to grace. Peace.
