my daily reflections…

when i was actively drinkin i can remember thinkin this same thing, “man i aint hurtin nobody but me”. i even carried that idea into my early recovery, these were my, honest as i could be, thoughts at the time. even though i would argue with my wife and everythin seemed to be ok from my drunken, insane point of view, i was still hurtin the ones around me. i wasnt able to fulfill my duties as a husband, father, or productive member of society. i reckon i knew deep inside, but i would drink that feelin of inadequacy away. after workin with my sponsor and lookin deeper inside, i realized the harm i had caused others was much greater than i could have ever imagined. through the practice of the spiritual principles of recovery i came to terms with the harms i had caused, got busy rightin my wrongs, and makin my amends. i needed my HP and the relationships i had formed in the fellowship of recovery to help me do this, both He, and they, did. 1 day @ a time...
