how am i to carry the vision of my HPs will into all of my activities? one of the 1st things i do each day, is read a couple of inspirational recovery readins. from those readins i pray, askin my HP to help me live them in my life just for that day. then i listen through meditation on how he would have me use my prayer to help others. this has worked very well for me for 6391 days in a row. when i sense my will comin into play, or the world becomin too much for me to control or manage, i recall the mornins readins, prayer, and meditation, and move forward as best as i can. i must admit, i truly do not know what my HPs will is, but i can, from the intuitive voice within, which i receive through meditation, can discern how to behave when confronted by the worlds difficulties in my day. its been my experience when i keep my eyes trained above the horizon of myself; i get to see infinite possibilities for spiritual growth. its been my experience that when i start my day as mentioned, though i may make myself vulnerable to the world around me, its the trust i have in my HP and recovery, that i may learn how to use what ive gleaned from my mornin time of prayer and meditation and the history of my recovery, to grow into the change recovery provides. and there is more to His will than a mere abstinence of alcohol, the willingness to do somethin i would have never done before my recovery began, helps me grow into new behaviors which help to change my thinkin. havin gained new tools from livin a life without alcohol, i still need help from those whove came to the rooms before i, and whove had shared in some the same battles that i may experience in any given moment. reachin out to fellow survivors gives me the tools to embrace my sober life. this is just one of the things i perceive is my HPs will as i move forward in my day. in my humanness im goin to make mistakes. but i have faith in my HPs will that by swallowin my pride, remainin humble enough to surrender, accept, and tolerate self, i will not get drunk. for it is my faith that doin my HPs will, by doin this daily tune-up, i will prevail from the pretty ridiculous individual directin everythin. 1 day @ a time...
