Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that when the doorway is dark the moon often lights an untravelled path through the nearby woods. In other words there are people in the rooms of recovery who will help us to navigate a journey through what is an unfamiliar reality to us and that unfamiliar reality is the reality of early one day at a recovery. They tell us to engage in this reality by not picking up that first one and to please keep coming back and when we keep coming back they tell us to try to listen in order that we will see the reality of recovery which is if we listen we have a good chance of having doable, happy, and fulfilling lives. Although the doorway was dark, we have found hope in well lit early recovery. We now have faith. Peace
