Many of us who live in one day at a time recovery are not leaders. We do not follow a certain set of principals other than we try our best to stay healthy, and we try and let others know that they too can become healthy if they respond to support from others, and stay clean and sober one day at a time. Some of us take medication under the direction of competent practicing physicians. Some of us have been in rehab programs and have had professional counselling. And some of us belong to 12 step programs and other support groups. Some of us believe in God, the universe or a spirit. Some of us believe in nature or energy. We are a flexible bunch of recovering people. In addition to this most of us just want to be heard and valued as people. This is a common reality of most people whether they are in recovery or not. And we know both recovery and life can be hard. We also know their joys. We matter. Everyone does. One day at a time we want to be well and we wish you the best. Also we believe in grace. May it be yours. Peace.
