my daily reflections…

today i dont worry too much about relapsin. it doesnt mean that i stop practicin my program of recovery though. i get to live this freedom and daily reprieve from alcoholic worry because i maintain a spiritual balance contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual program of recovery. it is with this practice and hope, that the growth of the spiritual experience i work toward when i connect with my HP each day, gets to continue to progress and move forward. as i continue to live and practice recovery, i face many negatives within my life. when i face these potential problems, i use what recovery has taught me. i connect with my HP through prayer and listen through meditation. i inventory the obstacle, dilemma, or enigma, findin my part within it, and speak with another in recovery what i find. after i have done this work, i move forward with my life and try to help another, usin what i have found about myself to hopefully better their lives. i aint gotta dwell on the trouble givin it the palaver or negative attention it desires. and it doesnt mean that i rest on my laurels either, i must face and deal with each potential problem accordingly. it is the change i have been blessed with through recovery that helps me surpass negatives, turnin em into positive learnin experiences. they are disciplines of self that are absolutely necessary so i may live with the power my HP has given me. arrogance, pride, bigotry, prejudice, snobbery: these are the arrows that often slay my spirit. however, when i live with the value of equality, respectin each problem i come across, i find equality provides the antidote for continued fair minded recovery. there are always reasons for why things happen, but i aint gotta know them. today, i trust in the lessons of my failures and problems. when i have the courage to begin, i have the courage to succeed. when i use faith, its like a muscle, the more i use it, the more it grows, turnin negatives into positives. 1 day @ a time...
