Many people living in one day at a time recovery remember what it was like when we uttered out-loud the words “God help me.” It is a desperate time that often leads to us receiving the gift of desperation. This gift of desperation is something we might not fully understand until years after of living in recovery. When we become aware of how alone we felt at that particular moment we understand we had to feel that aloneness because God was the only thing that could help us and when this higher power came noticeably into our lives we understood we were never alone and because of this we found ourselves surrounded by others in the rooms of recovery. This gave us the gift of belonging and the reality of hope. One day at a time we began to grow. It’s a reality of grace. Be grateful. Peace.
