my daily reflections…

by perseverin in my program of recovery i show myself, and others, its power granted me by my HP. each of the spiritual principles get practiced each day as i live among the world around me. livin recovery as best as i can i get to build relationships with others that are strong and offer companionship. my survival depends upon the recovery i live in sobriety. the measure of success in recovery and in my life is the measure of spiritual progress that i reveal in my life. buildin friendships and offerin myself to others in recovery helps the program succeed. as i live my recovery its spiritual program teaches me to be an idealist with my feet on the ground. i dont have to let the bad day of another effect my day. rather, i can be supportive or even just leave them alone until, if they may, ask. havin learned the competence from recovery and practiced acceptance of self, when i use that skill when dealin with others, i get to demonstrate the worth the program means to me. i can let others be themselves and still maintain the self-confidence to be my own person. forgiveness is another practiced truth that strengthens my emotional intelligence. i am not perfect, so i mustnt expect anybody else to be. i mean, aint that just like the days of doin my dirt, expectin someone else to live up to expectation i couldnt even live up to myself? recovery has taught me to be more thoughtful, carin, and responsible in my actions and words spoken, but at the same time, i have to intimately understand that passin those gifts forward doesnt mean they will be reciprocated. when i am a part of recovery i get to help it grow by bein an example of what it has given me. it doesnt mean i have to like it, it just means i have to do it if i want to keep it and be a member of it that uses what it has to offer to grow from within, outward. this thing we do is about personal change to me. livin that change when i speak of recovery to others is animated, brought to life, showin others what recovery can do. isnt it about attraction, not promotion. 1 day @ a time...
