i can recall the last time ive ever seen some of my friends. their faces and their words. i cannot say what Bill felt the last time he met with Dr. Bob, what i can say is how Bill continued Dr. Bobs legacy, passin it forward so i could get the message of recovery. im sure Bill felt Dr. Bobs loss, but he didnt let his grievin stop the message of recovery as they had hammered it out. today i get to live this legacy, keepin my personal program of recovery as simple as i can. its what my sponsor taught me when i came into the rooms. and it has been a particular practice fer me to remember the lessons ive experienced since my recovery began, and before. rememberin how my self-willed expectations always seemed to make shit so difficult i couldnt even live up to em myself. some of these lessons have been learned in hard taught earnest coz i wanted to try to make somethin thoughtfully better. well, as it turns out, i cannot make this thing we do any better than it already is. what i can do is practice livin the spiritual principles, to the best of my ability, utilizin em as it has been proven, time in and time out. all i have to do is keep it simple stupid. 1 day @ a time...
