Unity


The reason that AA and similar recovery groups remain effective and purposeful is because we don’t allow distractions. Our one focus in recovery is sobriety. We as a whole represent many differing values and opinions, but we unite with the one purpose of sobriety. We in recovery are from diverse backgrounds, and that is the point: addiction has no bias in culture, race, education, religion, or politics. This great evil disease crosses all the divides. It reaches into every vulnerable crack and crevice of society. We are clinging to the lifeboat of oneness. Hearing one another share about his or her experience, strength, and hope is the only way to maintain our goal; life. Living our lives is the goal.
That is my gratitude for this week. I am alive with possibility of living a purposeful like. I can carry the message of hope. I can have a future. This is possible only because of unity.
