my daily reflections…

recovery has taught me what it means to be humble. it has taught me that i am not immune to that 1st drink. perseverance in my recovery means that i must remain vigilant and on guard for my spiritual malady to rear its ugly head. fortunately, recovery has given me options of instruction and direction to follow when i do become wrapped in self. rememberin that without the relationship i have built with my HP, i am weak and my life, ran on my will, is completely unmanageable, i get the chance to change some shit up. rememberin that God is stronger than i and knows of my weakness, doesnt mean that i throw caution to the wind, it means that i continue to persevere usin the tools within recovery that He has provided to overcome self. continuin to take personal inventory allows me to see where i have made mistakes if i dont already feel off square within. i have also been afforded the gift of the unity of fellowship within recovery to help me too when share what i may be goin through. when i am overcome and cannot find the direction needed, i get to be led by others. the togetherness i feel with those who share in a common solution gives me the ability to reach out to them when i need their emotional, psychological, and spiritual support. when i practice the spiritual principles of this thing we do, i get the comfort of knowin that i never have to walk alone. i get to receive the strengths, successes, experiences, and hopes that others have so i may use them to move forward. i get to understand, experience, and watch how spiritual progress isnt what gets me sober, however, i learn its what keeps us sober together. personal inventory is what helps me to continue to change even when change brings fear. as i continue to persevere with personal inventory checks i get to feel how it provides the evolution of my recoverys stability. recovery is capacious and unendin when i seek to persevere through my character flaws and shortcomins with daily personal inventory. 1 day @ a time...
