Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand when life and reality give us little choice but to take time to consider and weigh our options. This usually happens to us when our own personal salvation project seems to no longer be working and we find our backs totally pressed up against the wall. In such situations many of us find ourselves in need of support founded in the reality of grace without judgement. It seems to be that instinct (faith) directs us into prayer while guiding us to reach out to other recovering people just to get a break from the struggle that has backed us up against the wall. A good dose of empathy from a supportive soul goes a long way in helping us find a better reality. Peace.
