my daily reflections…

my sponsor emphasized early in my recovery that while i could lean on the support of the recovery community, the responsibility for my healin ultimately rested with me. he clarified that reachin out for help was not only acceptable but encouraged, and that the fellowship would always be there when i needed it. however, he stressed that true progress required my diligent effort, which would lead to the positive outcomes described in the big book. today, i recognize that i am not always at my best; i sometimes struggle to take the right actions or make sound decisions. in those moments, i must draw on other recovery principles, such as honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, and humility with a thorough self-reflection, to uncover what i need to address within myself. this process involves prayer, meditation, and sharin my insights with others, ensurin that i am actively workin to maintain a healthy spiritual state and a robust recovery program. it can be challengin, especially when my ego and pride tempt me to believe i have already done enough and deserve more from my recovery. in these instances, i rely on my conscious connection with my HP to help me recognize my flawed thinkin, often revealin deeper character defects i have unconsciously protected. bein fully self-supportin takes many forms, and i am committed to continually improvin in this area. by embracin faith, i can release fear, and when i trust in god while cleanin my inner self, i become more effective in my journey. 1 day @ a time…
