my daily reflections…

as far as anybody knowin i am in recovery from alcoholism or addiction, i truly do not care. i spent so much of my life bein judged that today, if someone still wants to stand in that posture, that burden belongs entirely to them. early in my recovery my sponsor taught me that what others think of me is none of my affair, and that their criticisms are most often reflections of their own insecurities. Spiritual Awareness has shown me that my task is to live as my HP would have me live, not to manage anybodys opinions. i extend to others the same respect i hope they extend to me, honorin their dignity and their choices whether they are in recovery or not. in this thing we do, anonymity, at its deepest level, is Protection For All, shieldin each member, from unwanted identification. i work hard to no longer throw anyone under the bus to elevate myself, my ego and pride are a work in spiritual progress and growth. this thing we do has taught me that speakin ill of another only reveals the poverty of my own spirit. when my focus remains on my own path, i simply have no time to fret over who is talkin shit or why. 1 day @ a time…
