my daily reflections…

today, because of a willingness to follow the spiritual principles of recovery as disciplined as possible, i am sensible, have peace of mind, and am well-balanced. i possess special abilities, skills, and aptitudes, and have a promisin career ahead of me. i get to use the gifts recovery has given me to build up a bright outlook for my family and myself. i get to live an amends to my family and those ive harmed in the past and present, not puttin them through the stages of my impulsiveness, compulsiveness, or repulsiveness through alibis, lies, and excuses. i get to be present in others lives allowin them the time they need to heal from my prior poor decisions and actions. this is the beauty of what recovery has given me, an ability to persevere while livin through lifes daily struggles. though i may still struggle at times, i get to continue to make the amends i must do. the worst thing i can do to stifle my creative thinkin and betray myself, is to not listen to the intuitive voice within, my HP. when i do this, my will steps up and any livin amends i may be in the process of makin, ends. im not gonna do everythin as rightly as others may feel i need to, i need to listen to myself, and most importantly, my HP, usin the wisdom and knowledge my experience has given me. i can remain vulnerable and take risks that may involve personal pains while makin a livin amends. listenin to my inner self as i trudge my journey helps me to gain the spiritual experiences i need to progress as i live out my healthy thoughts makin any amends. its not so much the words i say, though sometimes they do help, its the behavior and action i do when listenin to my inner voice that helps me to positively judge whether or not i am doin right by the ones ive harmed. new insight sometimes comes durin the physical activity of livin my amends. my growin strength as a recoverin alcoholic requires that i listen to my own messages and then take some risks to express them. recovery has given me the courage and strength to face myself and others as i stand up for myself and own the problems ive caused others. reeducatin my mind by learn to think and act differently is a healthy byproduct of makin the necessary amends i must do. 1 day @ a time...
