my daily reflections…

i have been offered a blessin in my personal program of recovery in that there have been many whove come before me takin the time to solidify and hammer out the unity i need within the fellowship of recovery. it is because of their experience i get to use their wisdom to better grow my own life. usin faith and action, i can use the lessons they provide to grow my own incredible experience. when i grow relationships in my recovery in the fellowship of this thing we do, i get the fortune of listenin to how others have used the 36 spiritual principles (12 steps, 12 traditions, and 12 concepts) of recovery to better their lives and i get to share how i have done the same. by the mere action of turnin my life over to a power greater than myself, i am no longer at the center of the universe, openin my mind, body, and soul up to the healin of my emotional, psychological, and spiritual maladys. i get to become one of many, rather than lettin the world revolve around me. with God, recovery, and the fellowship around recovery i can face anythin. i get to have a new life of power, manageability, and healthy self-control when i surrender with daily quiet communion with my HP. this enables the power of His grace to come unhindered into my mind, body, and soul. my dreams come true when i keep my head in the clouds and feet firmly planted on the ground movin forward. with the experience of the fellowship, ive learned that i no longer have to be a people pleaser. this allows me to relinquish the fear of what another may think of me, exchangin that fear for hope and faith. ive been taught by those whove came before me how to focus on myself by placin healthy boundaries within that contribute to healthy actions. avoidin the warnin signs that come from outside of me causin disturbances within will only create the desire to be loved and needed by others, this has the power to seduce me into becomin overly involved in their lives with unhealthy motives and expectations. there is so much to learn when i take the time to look at what others have taught me. as long as i live with the right understandin of what my HP, recovery, and the fellowship have taught me, keepin faith and practicin the works within recovery as my recovery evolves, i can remain free and a part of somethin greater than myself. 1 day @ a time...
