Quote of the Week

"The reason the program works is because 

we're not all crazy on the same day."

 

After I was in recovery a few years, I remember hearing some people sharing and thinking they were still clearly out of their minds. This scared me because I realized I relied on them to save my life. A week later, I remember sharing some of my own stuff and also realized that I, too, probably sounded kind of crazy as well. And that's when I heard this week's quote.


This quote means many things to me. To start with, it reminds me I still have the disease of addiction, and that my thinking will always be affected by it. It also reminds me that in the rooms I have the freedom to be myself - whatever that happens to be that day. In fact the saying, "Do you want to save your ass or your face", has literally saved my life a few times. It also reminds me "the reason we're all here is because we're not all there."

The hope and strength I take from these sayings is that alone I can't, but together we can. Together we make up the mosaic that is recovery and despite those times when I still feel a little crazy, I am comforted as I see the miracle still taking place in your life. Someone once said that he only needed one meeting a week, but went to five because he never knew which one it was going to be. 


Thank God the voice of recovery speaks through us all, one day at a time.
