Most people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of hearing words that speak to us. We hear words of joy when we hear someone smile. We hear words of pain when we see the frustration and sadness when tears role down their cheeks. We hear words of belonging when someone shakes our hand or hugs us. We hear words of freedom when someone shows us how to live life one day at a time. And we hear words of responsibility when someone needs help. This is the reality of living in recovery and hearing words that speak to us. And when we need we will hear the words belonging in coffee shops, at kitchen tables, and in the rooms of recovery. We need to listen with our hearts in the reality of life and recovery one day at a time. Peace.
