People living in one day at a time recovery eventually understand that we don’t know what we don’t know. The sooner we get to learn this the sooner we get to learn that we cannot help everyone. This is a reality of finding recovery in the rooms of recovery. We simply don’t have the experience or the qualifications to be able to help everyone. In such an instance we hope we meet this reality with humility so we will know and understand this reality before we hurt someone. All we have to offer anyone is our experience, our strength and our hope. People in the rooms of recovery teach us this. We are not afraid to tell people we cannot play the roles of doctors, counsellors, or hotels. We’re a kinship of recovering people. That’s our one day at a time recovery and it’s our reality. Peace.
