my daily reflections..

recovery has shown me how to open my mind beyond self. ive learned how to not make excuses for my behavior, but livin in fear damn near all the days of doin my dirt, had me closin my mind, because if anybody else knew me, theyd get me. today i want to be different than ive ever been before. i want to be as truly humble as i can be and yet have self-respect. even as days in recovery may drone on and the routine of day-to-day activities give the devil plenty of idle time to play, i have to see the good in myself as well as the bad. when im in a healthy state of mind im ok, but that idle time, does allow my alcoholism to start spinnin the wheel of misfortune. i need to recall what this thing we do has given me the courage to be. when i do, i remember how true humility can open my mind and lead me away from the devils fertile playground and toward faith. 1 day @ a time…
