my daily reflections…

i am not a fan of lessons that sting with painful emotions, yet Perseverance has taught me to walk through them with the help of my HP rather than avoid them. my perfectionist desire to live without error, harmin neither myself nor others, often collides with the truth of my humanity. even after careful thought, i sometimes stumble. what recovery gives me today is serenity, not because i am flawless, but because i rely on my HP for the courage to face my mistakes honestly and to make amends when needed. in Step Ten, i persevere through storms of guilt, shame, and remorse without bein crushed beneath their weight. with my HP as my guide, these trials no longer define me but refine me. each struggle becomes an opportunity to grow emotionally, psychologically, behaviorally, and spiritually, and in Perseverance. in this way, mistakes are transformed into moments of grace, and serenity becomes possible even after the storm.1 day @ a time...
