my daily reflections…

for me today, perseverance equals success, happiness, joy, self-love, and better yet, freedom from too much self. when in the days of doin my dirt i would rely upon alcohol to give me the freedom to realities i could not face nor manage, today i get to use the simplicity of recovery to overcome my powerlessness. even as these simple terms may sound easy to someone not faced with the disease of alcoholism, they require wholesome and rigorous attentiveness and mindfulness on my behalf. character defects, nor shortcomins, do not just go away, they are a part of me as my heartbeat. if i want to live a life with a healthy heartbeat, clear conscious of behavior, emotional balance, mental health, and spiritual growth, i must maintain a daily maintenance of holistic personal inventory. continuin to watch for lapses in a healthy lifestyle, continued daily monitorin must be an introspective view i do with my HP, and when the answers or solutions are too unclear for me to understand, the guidance of my sponsor, or other trusted friends in recovery, when necessary. i cannot do this thing we do alone. 1 day @ a time...
