First year of my recovery - I was too sick to do anything else. Went to one or two meetings a day - just to stay straight in my head. I heard these phrases over and over and over again. Sometimes I hated hearing them - thought they made it sound too easy - that my life was too complicate for them to help. But I have stayed around - and I am thankful each day - that these phrases seem to have sunk into my bones. They pop in to my mind - ground me - give me perspective - help me to let go - and to stay clean - One Day At a Time . . .
