just like anythin else that has been good for me, my recovery has taken time. i didnt have today what i had the first day i walked into the rooms to start this journey. and i dont think if i stopped doin what it takes to keep it that i could keep it. my sponsor warned me of the thought or want to look too forward with expectation into forever cause it can lead to an unrealistic reality cause i do not know what tomorrow holds. what i reckon i do have today is cause i lived right now, this moment, as best and rightly as i perceived it should be lived. if i learn from yesterday, and live todays next right action, remindin myself tomorrow that i need to do what works, i may have a chance two days from now. see, i may want to live this recovery thing the rest of my life, but that dont happen if i dont live right now as best as i perceive my HPs will for me is. to think back about my first days, weeks, months, or years in recovery, i dont recall thinkin i could ever get as far as i have today. i just did what i thought was right by recoverys teachins each day. so, throughout each day, i gotta do what recovery teaches me as it evolves, as i evolve, and as the world evolves. as long as days may seem, its this moment that means the most. today i can be stronger, braver, and more lovin as a result of what i did yesterday. i gotta use the hidden power within me that He provides me with and not imprison that spirit within me. He is there when i need Him, all i gotta do is reach out followin His daily guidance. livin each moment perseverin by usin the spiritual principles of recovery, ensures that i live this thing we do throughout each day. when i do this, with help from my HP, recovery, and the fellowship within, i get to live the change im seekin. spirituality comes with the awareness of my God-given Divinity. i get to be part of the cure of the worlds ills rather than part of the disease. with persistent effort, i grow from within outward bein a part of the forces for good in the world. spiritual progress needs to remain the law of my bein. 1 day @ a time...
