my daily reflections…

i had to go through what i had to go through to get where i am today. to learn how to live a different lifestyle opposin the one i had lived while out doin my dirt. i can never forget the knots tied within. i reckon thats why today i get to work, and live, toward positive solutions for the alcoholism i still contend with. usin what i believe is the spiritual principle of step 10, perseverance, i get to live beyond the person i used to be practicin the solutions of the spiritual principles. it doesnt mean ive graduated or passed a test, just cause ive learned new ways to live, all it really means is that i use those new concepts daily in the hopes that Gods grace and will will be done in my life through my behaviors and thinkin. not forgettin what ive done, allows me the ability to forgive others and myself so i dont continue the emotional turmoil that befell me through my own unhealthy thought processes and unbalanced actions. what ive been givin is an opportunity to learn from the necessary prunin so i dont have to subject others or myself to my alcoholism again. with the constructive thought process recovery has taught me to live, i get to be spirit guided instead of self-guided. i get to pass along what i feel is my HPs presence and power through me. ive heard it said in the rooms that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how i react to it. when shit aint goin exactly the way i wish, problems at work or in my personal life, these misunderstandins, are moments when i get to make decisions that require a radical change in the way im thinkin and behavin in my life. i get the freedom to not overreact like i use to before my recovery began. the spiritual principles ive learned get to become an active part of my life, providin me the freedom to live the change recovery offers. remainin positive, with the positive solutions for thoughts and beliefs, i get to use what my HP and recovery has taught me to become a guidin force within my own life. accountable actions become the highest form of self-respect when i admit mistakes and persevere by makin amends for them. 1 day @ a time...
