Those of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know about our daily thank you. When we are awakened for the day our thoughts turn to our humble conception of God. With humility, we acknowledge our gratitude by giving thanks to this great power who is a power beyond our comprehension. Also we will learn to say thank you for the people who are in our lives. We will also learn to say thank you to these people for the blessings, grace, and love that they give to us. We will start to understand that our God often works through other people. As we become aware, we recognize we are not alone. Recovery is about reaching out and giving back. This is the balance of a natural life of responsibility. When our day is over we give thanks. Gratitude is now a part of our lives. As we experience a day that is like this we know we have had a good day. As we have more days like these we will believe we will have more. Even on bad days we will find something to be grateful for. That is also part of the natural balance of life and one day at a time recovery. It part of the journey.
