my daily reflections…

the program of recovery i live, i hope, speaks for itself. i hope that the work ive put into self is a show to others that there has been a change within me that has a positive effect on others. though i may speak of my intentions for my recovery, i hope that it is the action that may be seen by others that is the tell of who and what i am today. as long as i continue to evolve and grow in my recovery and spirituality, givin away the gratitude i have for what ive been given, i hope that i will get to continue to receive the gifts and promises recovery has to offer me. havin surrendered and submitted my will to my HP, ive been released from the power of liquor. it is somethin i may think of on occasion, but it doesnt create the obsessions it once did. ive been able to grow into a new life, and feel, within, the serenity and peace of mind that comes with that new life. with a clear spiritual consciousness of my HP, ive been given the ability to accept and carry the burden and joy of responsibility for my alcoholism. bein accountable by remainin sober in my decisions and lifestyle is the greatness of these joyful discoveries. sometimes, for me, the major decisions are easier to make than minor ones, and this is where i use the good practice of askin for help on any issue i may need help with, major, minor, simple, or complex. humility learned through good sponsorship as i trudged through the early steps of recovery has helped me as ive progressed through my recovery. with a greater self-awareness and the willingness to ask for help with everyday indecision, more discoveries come as i move forward. with a bedrock built upon a sufficient foundation of faith, honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness, i continue to work hard at the elimination of the worst of my character defects. both sobriety and peace of mind are not things that elude me when i experience the discoveries He provides me from rigorous personal inventory. its been my experience that when i stop doin the character defects and shortcomins that are mine to own, He removes them from me. 1 day @ a time...
