People living in one day at a time recovery learn to see the love and good in we. We meet in meetings. We meet in conferences. And we meet in churches, coffee shops, parking lots, or at community events. We also meet in jails, hospitals, and funerals. When we have been in recovery for a while, we cannot but help seeing the love and good in we. We see the good in each other, as we are no longer alone, and we give each other hope and strength. In our hope and in our strength we see that we are worthy of love and belonging. We become a part of. In time we are to reach out and extend our hand to those in need. We do realize we are not saints, preachers, teachers, or in any way seeking perfection to share with the world. All we truly are is people who live our lives one day at a time trying to help people become and stay well. Some of us come to a realization we have chosen a life of service to each other hoping to leave people a little better off for knowing us.
