i cannot keep this gift of recovery all to myself and expect to continue to receive the vast gifts it offers me. i must continue to be responsible for my recovery by remainin open and willin so that when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, i can be a hand that is always there. it is what others did for me when i came into the rooms; it is what i must do for others when they come into the rooms. in my personal understandin of service toward others, it is gettin into action showin the gratitude i have for what i have received. this action helps me to not focus on myself, it frees my mind of the fears that come to me when i am alone trapped in my spiritual malady. when i remember what happened to me in the past as a result of my drinkin, and even worse yet, my thinkin, i get the motivation needed to kickstart my heart into action. by remainin humble and honest, fillin my mind with constructive thoughts, tryin to judge valuations with a positive mindset which seem right to me, i get to keep a serenity and peace of mind. this shows another what this gift of recovery has given me, so that i can be one of the many hands that is outstretched for another to grab onto. after i have connected with my HP through mornin prayer and meditation, i know that i am bein led on my journey toward bein of service to this great recovery program. it is equally important in my service toward others that i continue to spend time in quiet, receptive openness, the essential practices of prayer, meditation, and most other spiritual practices, throughout my day so i may continue to receive what my HPs will has in store for me. as i listen to another i get to understand that my message may be the one that saves their life. with this mindfulness i get to continue to follow my spiritual path showin another a possible way toward freedom. though my recovery may not be dependent on what another receives or does as i share my e.s.h., i know i have done what my HP has willed me, and what recovery has taught me to do. with this i gain an inner happiness that further shines when i can, just be there, for another. when i stop the want to continually partake in the act of doomscrollin throughout my day or life the issues of control and will power, surrender, and defeat, become evident actions others get to see. when i pass on my hope and faith with a message that i have a logical idea of what life is all about, others see this, helpin me to provide attraction rather than promotion. 1 day @ a time...
