my daily reflections…

there remain within me certain aspects of self that i do not admire, persistent traits and tendencies that demand continual vigilance and inner work. through the process of recovery, i have learned to entrust these shortcomins to my HP; yet, despite this surrender, they at times resurface. their recurrence does not signify failure but rather provides fresh opportunities to apply the principles of recovery. the progress i have made in confrontin my defects of character and the behaviors they provoke stands as evidence of both Gods transformative power and the sustainin grace of recovery in my life. when i approach these deep emotional undercurrents with honesty and humility, i find that simple but profound suggestions of recovery alleviate their weight. out of this inner labor has grown a greater capacity for care toward others. the brotherly love i seek to extend is not superficial; it is the direct result of havin engaged in the hard and ongoin work of self-examination, acceptance, and spiritual growth. in comin to know who i am and who i am capable of becomin, i am better able to love and serve those around me. 1 day @ a time...
