my daily reflections…

with the changes ive experienced in my life, the openness to love another, the willingness to be wrong, the honesty to admit that i am not as powerful as i once thought i was, the courage to face the shit that used to baffle me, the integrity i feel within, the want to continue forward after defeat, the awareness i have of self and how spirituality has had an effect on me, how could i not share with others what it was like, what happened, and what it is like today? how could i not openly share the spiritual feature that recovery has opened my eyes to? how could i not honestly tell of my dirt, what the straw was that broke the camels back, and how free i feel today as a result of the awareness ive been gifted from diligently livin and pratcicin the 12 steps of recovery? and its not just honesty with newcomers, its honesty with others who may or may not be in recovery, and most importantly, honesty with myself. ive been freely given the key to faith to unlock the meanin of life, and i am no longer lost. sharin with another how my soul was restless until i found rest in my HP and later spirituality, i get to express how without faith, life was a meaningless succession of unrelated happenins, without rhyme or reason. i get to share with em how i have come to rest in faith. sharin with another how i get to try to think my HPs thoughts after him, how i get to get guidance from Him as to what His intention for me may be, and what part i can have in carryin out that intention, is a blessin to me. i get to share with em how there is such freedom and joy in knowin that i have the capacity to feel all my feelins. i get to share with em how today success is simply the use of the abilities i have. how i must treat them as practical tools, not magical gifts. how i dont need to fear failure. how nobody travels my road for me but me. how good things happen to me today because i dont drink. how peace of mind frees me to receive love and give love. and best of all, how today, i not only love myself, but like myself. 1 day @ a time...
