my daily reflections…

the discipline required to resolutely commit to the 12 spiritual principles of recovery are not easy, as simple as they may sound; this has been my experience. the development of self-restraint has taken time for the progress ive needed to feel somewhat at ease. today i get to use it regularly unless reeses cups, fruity pebbles, or bacon are involved. on the real though, self-restraint must carry a top priority for me. its been my experience when i confront a problem head-on, usin words, behavior, or action hastily or rashly, my ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates on the spot! any time i use my self-will, rather than the guided responsive ways recovery has taught me, i can ruin relationships with others, and dampen the spiritual intuition of my HP. learnin how to practice self-restraint, as mentioned above, has taken me time, but today as my personality traits and character get tested daily, i get to avoid the emotional booby traps of pride and vengefulness usin what ive learned through this thing we do. 1 day @ a time…
