Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of silence. Silence, followed by listening, are two of the greatest tools that we can use to help us navigate reality. What we can learn in navigating reality is that forever we will always be learning. What we will learn is we will find ourselves in the stories and the experiences of others. When we do this one day at a time belonging becomes the reality of recovery. We don’t have to fit in because we simply belong. This is the beauty of being akin to other recovering people. When we become silent the noise will stop. We become open to ideas like God, the spirit, or the universe is what holds the noise at bay. We are gifted with grace and we become grateful. Peace.
