Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that it is the utmost importance that we find abstinence. Without abstinence there is no real recovery. For some of us it’s a hard fact to face but we have to. It’s an absolute reality. Many recovering people will say that they still have their -isms and they do so because they are real but we know that eating too many cookies is not the same as taking a drink, smoking a joint, or partaking in what we cannot partake in. Reality has proven this to us. Grace gets us through it. One day at a time recovery lets us know that when abstinent we can live good lives. Not perfect but good. Peace.
