Most people living in one day at a time recovery understand the benefits of hope and time. Hope tells us that we can live in recovery and that recovery will become an everyday reality for us. With the passing of time we get to see that our hope remains true in our reality. The longer it does the more we get to see the benefits of both hope and time. One such benefit is that we get to see that we are people who are gifted with the reality of grace and because of this grace we get to experience the reality of one day at a time freedom which becomes especially evident in the gift of the present moment. For this we become grateful. We really do. Welcome to long term recovery. It happens quickly. Enjoy the journey. Peace.
