my daily reflections…

its my understandin that the steps are for me and how they can work in my personal life for me. it is also my understandin that the traditions are why this thing we do works and how i can use them to interact with others. and i believe in the reasons why this program should stick to its primary purpose. when i use the ideas to better my life and how i interact with others i get the opportunity to not only heal myself but heal the relationships in my life that i may have harmed in the past. movin forward with these in mind, i get to be helpful in any situation i may find myself in. when i participate in the privilege of the movement, i am responsible and share in its responsibilities toward others, takin it upon myself to carry my fair share of the load, not grudginly but joyfully is an action of the gratitude i get to show for the new lifestyle and blessins ive received. as i have grown forward through actions of doin my dirt in the past, ive been blessed with the divinity, love, and beauty, that has helped me overcome my past sufferin. when i move away from victimization, i understand that the need to accept my past, prepares me to move on. just as rememberin the dirt i did in the past is essential to future growth, so is sufferin essential in the moldin of my spiritual life. my willingness to carry the message, and my story, as best as i can, hopefully helps this thing we do in its primary purpose. my willingness to be vulnerable will go a long way toward helpin me, and hopefully others, grow in the program. when i face up to the realities that surface when i am honest with myself, as certainly as day follows sunrise, my difficulties will be lessened when i trust my HPs will. isnt this the greatest show of this thing we do in my personal life for the program? as i use willingness to separate me from the days of doin my dirt, i indeed come a long way spiritually, and therefore get to be called a man who is sincerely tryin to grow in the image and likeness of my HP. where would i be today if it wasnt for the programs adherence to its primary purpose? faith makes the impossible possible and the steps & traditions are somethin that enhance my peace of mind. one of the most noteworthy, or pièce de resistance, of my personal recovery is the freedom to be helpful to myself and others. 1 day @ a time...
