my daily reflections…

right off the bat i noticed somethin was a lil different about my sponsor, he seemed to have a calm about him, a peacefulness he walked with. we started our relationship gettin to know each other as most do, but there was a genuine quality about him that was somethin i wasnt used to after hangin with such a tough crowd. as we got to know each other, he told me about himself, what had happened with him, and how he got to the rooms. he said there was a simple solution to the place i had come to in my life, and if i cared to know about it, he would share it with me. i must admit it wasnt anythin much like the events which had brought me to the rooms, but some of the feelins and actions were much the same. he was honest with me, he didnt hold back when it came to the matters of his alcoholism. this taught me a great deal early on. how honesty, when dealin with the newcomer, is somethin i must adhere to if i wanted what my sponsor had. how my spiritual development, and awareness, depended on how honest i could be with my HP, myself, and another, about my alcoholism. 1 day @ a time...
