Many people living in one day at a time recovery eventually understand that trees shall bend in the wind but we do not get a chance to experience this until we do find recovery and in that recovery we discover life on life terms is about being resilient. Being resilient, or becoming resilient, is a gift that opens the doors to understanding the responsibility of grace and in such grace we become flexible enough to ride out the storms of life bending as trees do as they bend in strong winds remaining abstinent and giving recovery the opportunity to grow and be of help to others who are seeking the reality of recovery one day at a time. Many of us do this when we meet in the rooms of recovery which is recovering people helping recovering people. We bend and model a new reality. It’s all about resilience. Peace.
