Some people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of only seeing the big story in regards to life and recovery. We become so hell bent on saving the whole world we forget about the small groups of people who participate day in and day out in the rooms of recovery, coffee shops, and kitchens while helping each other to stay clean and sober one day at a time. In our inner-circle these people are the ones who listen to our woes and share their experience, strength, and hope with us. When we understand this we understand what it is like when people call each other friend which means our inner-circle is where our friends are and together we are making the world a better place. It’s our tried and tested reality and it works. That’s the basics. Us and our friends. We work together. Peace.
