my daily reflections…

it took me time early in my recovery to gain the emotional serenity this mornins readin suggests. and just as it took time for that to happen, the sufferin i went through before my recovery began and sufferin i still may go through today was, and is, a trigger that lets me know that i must continue to live and practice what i have learned through recovery to overcome my character flaws and shortcomins. today i find that when i experience emotional turmoil or pain it is typically due to my human need to take control over situations in which i have no business messin with. when i am filled with doubt i must turn to the solutions recovery has taught me and use the wisdom ive gained to let go and let God. keepin a constructive attitude, rather than one of destructive, i get to seek out and pick through experiences that have helped me solve like problems in the past. and if there are none, it offers me an opportunity to do a necessary prunin so that i may grow emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually; not always are the answers as clear as i would like them to be. these are the times i must rely upon my HP to guide me toward strength, peace, and calmness. while in this communion i get to find His meanin and purposeful answers to direct me forward. it has been my experience that while partakin in a necessary prunin that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how i react to it. by not overreactin or tryin to overthink my problems when they occur, i take time to rest, feel my emotions, and then develop a sensible plan to weather the current storm. its how i master them with my HPs grace that i develop a healthy balance in my life. i owe this honesty and humility to myself, those i have relationships with, and my HP. in sharin these times with others, as my imagination is fired, i learn how to live with release from care, boredom, and worry. it is those within the fellowship with whom i share my difficulties i get to learn of ways others may have solved similar problems. there is so much i get from maintainin my recovery, and this mornins readins surely help me to reflect on just how far ive come and how blessed i am to have found a solution in this thing we do to overcome self. 1 day @ a time...
