my daily reflections…

durin the many times i met with my sponsor in my early recovery, he focused solely on his own struggles rather than outlinin what i needed to do. he never criticized me for bein misguided; instead, he reflected on how his alcoholism had led him astray. there was no judgment directed at me; his self-reflection was aimed at his past. at the time, i didnt fully appreciate the gift of havin him as my sponsor. today, i still draw on his wise counsel when guidin newcomers. my sponsor approached his role with humility and a sense of vulnerability, and i aspire to carry forward the message he imparted to me. 1 day @ a time…
