my daily reflections…

i can recall resistin the acceptance that my actions, whether intentional or not, had harmed others. my selfishness blinded me to the impact of my words and behavior; at the time, it felt like just livin life. often, i only recognized the harm later, in the reactions of those i had harmed. years of chasin my own desires had made me numb to the damage i caused. through self-examination and my sponsors guidance, i learned that makin amends was not about easin my guilt but about restorin what i had taken from others, whether financially, emotionally, materially, or spiritually. this “clean sweep” demanded humility and a willingness to face whatever consequences came, without self-protection. that work, repairin the damage, became the soil where brotherly love took root. today, i strive to place others before myself, practicin mindfulness, compassion, and service. brotherly love is now a daily practice; helpin others, livin with awareness, and buildin an abundant spiritual life sustained by continuous sobriety reinforced by recovery. 1 day @ a time...
