my daily reflections…

learnin i wasnt the most important person in da room, that all, or any of my problems werent the ones that needed everyone elses attention, was somethin i had to get through early in my recovery. ya wanna know what i learned. other people were just as important as me, sometimes even more so. i learned that steppin down off my gallant steed and tendin to others was somethin that in the end would supply more serenity to me than tendin to any of my small problems. what i learned was, admittin this was somethin i needed to do so i could understand, it wasnt ALWAYS about me. hell, my ex-wife used to tell me i was the most selfish person she had ever met. comin into the rooms i learned that steppin back so others could express their needs or wants allowed them to feel important, it allowed them to feel love, empathy, and compassion; it wasnt somethin that i had to own ALL of the time. with faith in my HP i am able to do this today through livin the principles of this program. ive learned my basic needs are met when i am able to do these things. i learned that admittin i do have problems and workin toward fixin them so i may be of maximum service to others has been a true blessin to me. ive learned in able to continue to receive, i must give even more of myself. 1 day @ a time…
