Many of us living in one day at a time recovery understand that we want a simple life. We realize that although most of us have spiritual experiences such as we know there is a God and that we are not him, her, they or it. We come to believe that our lives are not moment after moment moments of epiphanies and spiritual superiority but we realize through God’s grace and compassion we have become recovering people who share an inextricable bond with each other. Most of us don’t learn this overnight. The gift of desperation made it so we could understand and with this understanding we develop a want for a simple life or what we can call one day at a time recovery. It’s that simple. Recovery is a gift. It’s a lesson in humility. We will never know how profound this truly is. Peace.
