my daily reflections…

havin had a spiritual awakenin as a result of the 12 steps, i get to carry the message of recovery to alcoholics and practice these principles in all my affairs again for 2021. there is peace of mind in havin a relationship with my HP knowin He has entered into my heart and life in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for me which i could never have done by myself. this is just another one of the miracles of my recovery. idk what this new year will bring, but i do know as my recovery evolves and i continue to grow spiritually with it, doin the next right thing im posed to, no matter what it is, i will get to do just as i mentioned above. i cant think of a better way to celebrate the recovery ive been given than to show my gratitude by continuin to live and practice each spiritual principle, givin away what ive received and more. it feels so much better to plan what i can do for others rather than moanin about what i dont have in my life or cant do. i look forward to the journey in the up comin year, tryin to make people around me happy. i get to try to live in the moment; the past is gone, a lesson to learn from, the future is truly a wonderous mystery. today my celebration has a deeper spiritual meanin. i will give myself permission to be scared and acknowledge fear when it comes and face it so i move through it and let it go. i will live one day at a time. i will make each day one of preparation for better things ahead. i will not dwell on the past or the future, only on the present. i will face every fear of the future, all thoughts of unkindness and bitterness, all my dislikes, my resentments, my sense of failure, my disappointments in others and in myself, my gloom, and my despondency. i will face each of these things when they come to me and go forward, in this new year, into a new life. i will do what i can to keep my love alive. i thank God for the gifts that continue to flow and enhance my life. 1 day @ a time... “A new day is breakin', it's been so long since I felt this way, I don't mind where I get taken, the road is callin', today is the day... I can see, it took so long just to realize, I'm much too strong, not to compromise, now I see what I am is holding me down, I'll turn it around... I finally see the dawn arrivin', I see beyond the road I'm drivin', far away and left behind...” - Boston
