Many people living in one day at a time recovery came to a point in life that life brought change with the insertion of a semicolon. We were unwell and probably flirting with disaster or perhaps even living in disaster but in its intrusive and welcomed intervention life intervened with a semicolon or an abrupt introduction to one day at a time recovery. We discovered we were sick – not weak. Many of us believe God, the spirit, the universe or whatever our conception of the other to be are the reason we are alive today, and in keeping us alive they inserted the semicolon. We understand this to be grace. Grace is life; life is recovery. Those we are akin with show us this. We have found an inextricable connection with these people. We experienced the semicolon. Not everybody does. Reach out. Life is not perfect but it’s good. It’s the gift of a new reality. Peace.
