my daily reflections…

this mornins readin lets me be aware that there are far worse difficulties goin on in others lives in the world i could face than what is goin on in my life right now. i aint tryina say i aint ever been in some sticky situations, because i have, alls im tryina say is if the men who used what recovery gave them could make it through a circumstance like fightin in WWII, i can use what ive learned about myself to make it through what ev i may face today. they used the discipline they learned that recovery taught them. i, just as they, have a responsibility to myself, and those around me, to use the discipline recovery teaches me to press forward, stickin to the spiritual principles of recovery as best as i can at any given moment in time to live past the troubles that may come to me, even if i didnt cause them. i can stand up under fire when i am bein pressed beyond my human capabilities and call upon my HP for the direction, guidance, courage, and strength, to use recoverys spiritual principles when i am at my humanly possible wits end. with them, i get to endure, i get to persevere, i get to know what is beyond my control and what is unmanageable for me. it takes courage to be humble enough to willingly submit to whatever spiritual discipline is necessary to live the change past a crisis with honest integrity and poise. it is a show to self and others that recovery has given me the confidence and bravery to accept whatever it takes to live a better life through any happenin. ive read it said that “the quickest way to change my attitude toward pain is to accept the fact that everythin that happens to me has been designed for my spiritual growth”. why not use each condition im in to show the omnipotence of my HP and recoverys schoolin? its my choice today to accept my life just as it is, without resistance, but with gratitude for the gift of each day. its how i grow spiritually, when i use what ive learned to interact with my fellows around me. today i get to act against every crisis confrontin me, i get to turn to God and understand that each crisis is an invitation to serenity on the other end. peace of mind comes then as not only learned, but a behavior that just tends to come naturally. with awareness, i get to take right action, so i may accept what i can control and what i cannot, walkin softly, and knowin that “it works” when i use the discipline recovery has taught me. 1 day @ a time...
