Many people living in one day at a time recovery keep our lives simple. After all, our lives are about being well, and being well is about being able to live in recovery. Those of us who have been in recovery for a fair amount of time must remember to keep recovery simple. We don’t have all the answers. Nor are we teachers or preachers. Our lives can be messy and difficult. Many days all is well. We know we are not perfect. Our claim is we are doing much better than we were before. We can still live with adversity. Our reality is that we have a wellness that keeps us content. We can be happy. It’s that simple. Some of us share our experience so others won’t have to feel alone. We’re not telling others what to do. We share what we do. We know taking life one day at a time is really important. Many of us take medication. We learn to reach out. Every day is a new beginning.
