Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the importance of a year spent in recovery and each subsequent year spent in recovery there after. Though many people celebrate one year and each additional year as milestones, we know that the year or the many years we remain abstinent we are actually celebrating continuous sequences of many, many, one days at a time. Another reality is that many of us who actively find support and give support in the rooms of recovery know that such rooms are the on going reason we have found and live in the reality of long term one day at a time recovery. Quite often we celebrate with cake. Everyone is welcome to celebrate at such events. We call them birthdays or anniversaries. They are inspiring realities of hope for us all. The miracle can and will continue. Peace.
