A reality of living in one day at a time recovery is that we discover that we are made until we become the living maturing person that recovery gives birth to one day at a time. In other words we believe we are made until we are born. Some people believe this to be the recovered person who is no longer afraid of anything. For most of us this reality does not exist. (Fools rush in where angels fear to tread). Courage is an act of consciousness derived from faith and reason. In other words – we don’t need to poke the bear. What we discover that our greatest act of courage is, is that we remain abstinent one day at a time even when life is falling apart and we live sober lives regardless of any adversities that we experience. We discover resilience and are born into grace. Peace.
