Those of us living in one day at a time recovery understand that we isn’t always me. This is a reality of life. Those that (we) are not we with might have a group togetherness. Similar lifestyles of the we can be dismissive of the other’s needs or beliefs. The we can have a need for we because they believe they exist in hierarchies and they need to belong to the we to maintain and prove to themselves this we exist. The sad thing is that this need to be the we exist in societies. The (we) that are outside of the we often feel as if (we) don’t belong when we try to walk to the beat of their drum. The reality of (we) is (we) need to find a common focus. What we do discover is that the we and (we) are trying to live life one day at a time. Many of us have realized, even if just being supportive to the people of the we is all that (we) can do, (we) are serving a worthwhile purpose. When we do this, we realize all of us are trying to live altruistic lives. This is the reality of living one day at a time recovery. No one needs walk this journey alone.
