Many people who have been living in one day at a time recovery understand when grace comes calling we take its hand with our sweaty palm and follow its lead to wherever it might take us. Grace’s utmost reality is it guides us into one more day of abstinence and recovery. Such is the freedom from active addiction. We understand the reality of once a cucumber becomes a pickle it cannot be turned back into a cucumber. Our truth is that we would not want it to turn back because grace has given us new lease on life. In life we have recovery, joy, and freedom. Grace in all of its persistence brings a new calm that frees our souls. It’s a gift that does for us what we could not do for ourselves. Peace.
