in my early recovery my sponsor expressed the spiritual principle of anonymity, as far as this thing we do, as bein a principle i must follow with intent. ive tried to follow this suggestion throughout my recovery. it was suggested to me that i had the ability to harm this program of recovery, and this program, as such, had the ability to harm me. so, as ive lived my recovery ive said little about namin the program unless in a meetin, or around trusted friends in recovery. i, as a rule, am not in fear of sayin how recoverys spiritual principles have been the catalyst for a life of change. unless asked personally and/or privately, how ive been able to change my life, i dont speak of this program, by name, or if speakin publicly, call it out by name. it is an act of humility to be able to not allow my ego or pride, throw out this thing we do as a way to bump up my own character, selfishness, greed, or pride, or feel an inward unhealthy narcissism. what i can do to show how this thing we do has affected my life in positive ways without even mentionin a word about it is to live by its spiritual principles, as best as i can. isnt an act of behavior or rightful management of whats goin on around me or within, a presentation of how im to manage emotional, psychological, behavioral, and spiritual reaction a best way for me to live out what this thing we do has taught me? as i continue to pray and meditate so i may choose the right way to be an attractant, rather than a promotion, then follow it through with what i perceive my HPs will to be, to the end, i get to live with humility. it is an opportunity to show how i can shift from obsessin over how i can dominate, to concentratin on how i can be useful. life becomes infinitely simpler when i focus more on havin a positive influence on an outcome than i do on tryin to control it. its a really big shift in behavior and thinkin. when i believe in unconditional brotherly love, i get to let this program work in my life today, so by mere action and behavior i get to accept unconditional brotherly love. with personal awareness, acceptance, and action, humility helps everybody around me live free. 1 day @ a time...
