my daily reflections…

it doesnt bother me to share, in any way, the experience, strength, and hope i have found through recovery by tellin what it was like, what happened, and what its like today. it is how others, who came into the rooms before me, helped me to find a new way of understandin and life. through their willingness to share their sufferin and how they used what they found in recovery to change their lives, i have been gifted the life i have today. through their humility and understandin of their own disease of alcoholism/addiction, i get to see how i am a part of somethin greater than i could ever be. i feel like for me to not share my own experience and wisdom not only hurts me, but also limits me to the rest of the promises, yet to be received. i cannot begin to know or feel how another may feel about their reasons they have found themselves in the rooms, but today, i understand, as best as i can, what brought me to the rooms and why i wish to remain. i never try to share in an effort to raise my ego or sound servile or scrapin, my only hope while sharin is that i be sensible, tactful, considerate, and humble. if i can pass on what i have to another through extemporizin, remainin honest and forthtellin, in a manner that another may find their disease, i want to do that. my hopes are that i be effective and serve the program of recovery in such a matter that i help others as i have been helped. i feel my HP has given me a new lease on life so that i can help another. through my own personal battles between the material view of life and the spiritual view, i get to share how i became unstuck and relate feelin safe enough to express myself, set boundaries, have healthy relationships, and live a happy healthy life. how the spiritual malady, pride, dishonesty, resentment, fear, selfishness, and greed i have lived through has been a catalyst to express how faith, honesty, liberty, purity, unselfishness, love, and service, have given me what the ones who came before me found in their lives when they shared with me. with these hopes, i get to live and practice the perseverance of step 10. today i get to be a part of the global sharin that continues to offer forgiveness, hope, tolerance, and love. 1 day @ a time...
