my daily reflections…

im grateful my sponsor took his time goin thru the steps with me, though he was persistent in gettin me to continue to move forward, he didnt shove the program down my throat. this allowed me to get an understandin of each step, so when i approached step 10, i was prepared fer the life ahead. today, havin some time in the rooms, i see the value in the way he presented the steps to me. havin as best an understandin of the prior 9 spiritual principles, and havin begun livin em as best as i could, i was ready fer the acid test. the funny thing is, as i was movin thru the steps up to this point, i had already, seemingly, inadvertently, started livin step 10 each day already. even puttin the 2 steps after this one into practice. such chicanery these sponsors fool us into doin! im grateful today that i am able to live thru times, which may be difficult, usin a new set of principles. as best as i can, my HPs will 1st, my program of recovery 2nd, service toward others 3rd, then whatever comes next. livin these 4 concepts in such an order, are the show of the gratitude for the blessins i have received. 1 day @ a time...
