Many of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like to be the powerful and the humble. In days we were the powerful our thinking was egocentric and a bit delusional. We told ourselves that we could control our using and stop all by ourselves any time that we really wanted to contrary to the reality of having no control whatsoever. When we bottomed out we came to an understanding of desperation that we needed help. We became humble and reached out for help and we found it either at a detox center or a hospital. In doing so we learned a valuable lesson that many of us, after years of recovery, still use. This lesson is alone I can’t but together we can. We practice this in the rooms of recovery. Still humble, we help each other. Now we know. Peace.
