my daily reflections…

today i am not so bankrupt spiritually as i once was. i know this because problems which used to baffle me no longer do. i still get stumped on some problems and need the conference with others in recovery, but for the simple shit, recovery has given me the solutions needed to move past em with grace. at one time early on in my recovery, when i didnt have much within, ridin the pink cloud, i wanted to try to give what i had to everybody. i still want to share what i have, but the reality of life is that not everybody wants, or even needs, what i have today cause most arent as i, an alcoholic. today by merely livin as best as i can, strivin for continuous improvement of self, doin what is right in front of me at this moment, practicin the spiritual principles recovery has taught me, i get to show others a different person than ive ever been before my recovery started. if its noticed, that awesome, if its not, thats just as awesome, because both let me know im doin what im posed to as i practice and grow my spirituality amongst da world. i no longer have to miss the oneness of creation by always placin myself above it, below it, or outside it, i can be me. when i share in, and am involved in, the inclusiveness of love, truth, and forgiveness, my HP is found in the difference and sameness of all people around me. talk about a ripplin effect. when i listen to the personal wisdom whispered by that still, small voice within, as ive developed a deeper and more reliable friendship with myself, i get to feel the little hunches or inner blips of feelin that tell me private truths. as i practice and live the steps, i learn to regularly visit my intuitive center and seek its wisdom. its been my experience that the more i listen and the more i respect the truths i receive in my quietness, the more wisdom i am given. i aint gotta let my pride block me from livin or sharin what i have today. my fears will keep me from experiencin the gift of livin my recovery and sharin it with others freely. today i aint tryin to let self-justification be a block to true spiritual progress or growth. i can let my God given instincts, me bein me, live with peace of mind. 1 day @ a time...
