Those of us living in one day at a time recovery know the reality of waiting which is that time takes time. Time taking time is an absolute truth. Waiting seems to be the most difficult when we are dealing with adversity and such adversity occurs when we are awaiting the possibility of bad news. What we do discover is that often there is nothing we can do but wait and pray. In reality the gift of one day at a time recovery gives us the ability to be there for others in times such as this. In doing so we are doing what we are supposed to do and we realize the people who have mentored us in recovery are just a call away. Another reality is that they might be right there with us providing the love and support we might need in such times. We are grateful for them. Peace.
