my daily reflections…

one of the best tools ive learned in my recovery, the ability to shut my mouth and keep it shut! it truly is a practice in humility and an effort to live what recovery has taught me. though i may want to run my mouth or react to a stimulus i feel, or perceive, is attackin me, the brief moment to allow the strength of my HP to give me the courage to behave with a humble management of my self-will has proven itself time and time again. this is a behavior i could not do back in the days of doin my dirt. ive learned if i have the courage to begin, i have the courage to succeed. the big book promises me if ive already made a decision, and an inventory of my grosser handicaps, ive made a good beginnin. that bein so, ive swallowed and digested some big chunks of truth about myself. it is with these truths i get to use the paradoxes of my character defects and shortcomins to live toward better affect. pausin and askin my HP fer guidance is what recovery has taught me and proven to me is the proper way to live forward. 1 day @ a time...
