Many people living in one day at a time recovery are people who have an understanding of generosity in regards to extending a helping hand to those in need. We will roll up our sleeves and help a friend stack firewood or we will volunteer at a local soup kitchen to feed the less fortunate. We will listen to the old-timer tell the same story over and over again in the rooms of recovery and we will listen to the new-comer’s dreams of wanting to save all the addicts and at the same time save the world too. In addition to this we will make peace with our own imperfections and in doing so make peace with the imperfections of others. Generosity in regards to extending empathy and compassion helps us to understand our inextricable connection with others. It makes the world a better place. Peace.
