Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn we cannot make all things possible. We know this because experience has shown us that we cannot overcome life. Reality has asked us how can we expect to overcome life when we simply could not moderate or gain control of our vices or addictions. Many of us found it difficult enough to simply just stop all together unless we bottomed out and had no choice but to stop. We had to surrender to the truth. We can never use again. It took a fair amount of grace from many people to teach us this. Most of us call grace a God thing. Moderation is an easy thing for many people, but not for us. This is a fact. We cannot overcome life. Then we learned about one day at a time recovery, and we learned to take direction. Some of us try to stay in tune to the Universe, spirit, energy, God or whatever we conceive him, her, they, or it to be. Some of us fall short, but we’ve learned that we cannot overcome life. We live by it. It’s reality. Peace.
