Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality and the simplicity of Christmas. In reality the most important thing that we can do during the holidays is to remain abstinent from mind altering substances. Some recovering people tell us they got wasted on Christmas day. They also said they got wasted on the days that it wasn’t Christmas. This means it’s a reality that we need to remain abstinent everyday one day at a time. Another reality is that many people living in 12 step recovery know where to find meetings during the Christmas Holidays. It can be a difficult season for some of us. We reach out – we remain vigilant – and we live one day at a time recovery. We might even find joy in recovery and we thank God, the spirit, or the universe for this. Welcome to miraculous grace. Peace.
