Each day of our pilgrimage in recovery we are presented with blessings beyond our wildest dreams. We go to new places and new spaces in our recovery. A pilgrimage implies we are always in process. We are blessed with the fellowship and spiritual tools that support us to welcome those challenges we face and find the blessings in those moments.
