my daily reflections…

as ive watched those whove come into the rooms before me live lives which bring em inner happiness and peace ive learned to do what theyve done to become like they are. it has been in stark contrast of the way ive ever wanted to live or the designs i had for my life. i had always been taught as a young un that self-sufficiency without the help of others was a good thing. that i could, if i tried hard enough, will life into fruition. never did i ever think usin willingness to conform, acceptin life for what it was, with the positive help of others, could be fulfillin. the means in which recovery teaches me to live are methods people who arent afflicted with the disease of alcoholism already live. and surely i was taught these same things as i grew up, i just wanted it my way. those people in recovery who live as theyve been taught through recovery, are examples for me to continue to learn from and parrot as i continue to live the evolution of my recovery. acceptin the help and directions of others doesnt mean im not self-supportin through my own contribution, its that ive learned my limits of control and need help and guidance sometimes. self-acceptance means there is a freedom to be able to be loved into recovery. 1 day @ a time...
