Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that the installation of hope happens when we learn to trust the reality of living in recovery. In doing so we learn that God, the spirit, or the universe has plans for us and that such plans unfold wherever and however they so choose. This reality unveils the meaning of the fog lifting and the development of the ability to see past, or through the dark. Continuing abstinence has a way of making this happen and our hope begins to grow. One day at a time recovery becomes a journey in courage. We begin to understand that everything is a gift of abundant grace. There is no other reality. Peace.
