Many of us living our lives one day at a time know that one day at a time living is the foundation of recovery. Such a foundation was found and formed in hospitals, detox centers, rehabs, jails, and recovery groups be they 12 step personhoods or other such support groups. The idea is we can face life and live recovery one day at a time while being someone who is somebody who participates in the principal of together we can if we take our abstinence, recovery and life just one day at a time. Such recovery might begin in a moment of desperation when we utter these words within our minds or sometimes out loud – God help me! Those of us who have been in recovery for a few years remember such desperation as if it just happened yesterday. Our lives were a mess but today life is doable and often good one day at a time. We don’t have to do this by ourselves. That’s the reality of being a member of a support group. New comers and old timers alike know and live by this reality. We live and recover one day at a time. It works! Peace.
