Most people living in one day at a time recovery know that we need to be heard. When we are heard and not negatively judged we feel a measure of acceptance. When feeling heard and not being negatively judged we feel as though we are people worthy of respect. Acceptance and respect help us on our journey of living in recovery. What we have discovered is that there are people who live with a fair amount of integrity who can show to us enough acceptance and respect that we know we will be heard. Very often this happens in the rooms of recovery. Often we turn to therapist or other professionals in our search to be heard. One day at a time we understand that we all need to be heard. We are all worthy of love and belonging. We need to accept it. It’s all grace. Peace.
