my daily reflections…

the continuance of livin and practicin each spiritual principle doesnt ever stop for me. it is a practice i must continue to hone throughout each moment of each day. i aint gonna try to story tell ya and say that my head is always thinkin bout recovery, cause it aint. im human and have been given that gift by my HP. i have lived in recovery for a couple days and some of its treasures, havin been practiced as best as i can, have become natural habit and i do these things without even thinkin bout doin em. early in my recovery it was suggested that i start each day with my HP seekin His spiritual guidance. over the years ive continued this practice and the spiritual awareness ive grown has come a long way. when i live the spiritual principles, whether out of habit or by forethought, i get to remain sober. when i remain sober, i get to see the gifts He provides me. i get to practice what ive been given, sharin it with others, therefore growin my spirituality. spiritual awareness is a gift i use to see the promises recovery has told me will come when i live by its suggested guidelines. as long as i keep the stream of goodness my HP has for me, i get to continue to give it all away. with spiritual awareness im able to see beyond the outward exterior, beyond the pretense, see through the hypocrisy. keepin emotionally, psychologically, behaviorally, and spiritually healthy i get to embrace spirit, so i may have the confidence to really look at people, and myself, to develop the eye of knowledge. when i work the steps, im never in doubt about the manner for proceedin in any situation. the steps provide the parameters that secure my growth. they help me to see where ive been and push me toward the goals which crowd my dreams. from this continued practice ive changed and will continue to grow. the past need haunt me no more. i get to face the future with confidence. whatever strength is needed to fulfill my destiny will find me. my forward steps will make the way easier for others to follow. what a blessin these steps are! they answer my every question. they fulfill my every need. by voluntarily reachin for recovery, i may still suffer, but i have Him to hold me. i get to continue to reach for the great turnin point in my life that comes when i seek humility as somethin i really want, rather than as somethin i must have. spiritual awareness and humility provide me the ability to give up my pride and still retain my dignity. choosin humility allows me new spiritual awareness and growth each day. 1 day @ a time...
