my daily reflections…

i get to start another year sober and in recovery, livin what i perceive my HP and the spiritual principles guide me toward. how could i not feel like i am blessed, that i get to live the miracle of recovery? there is no doubt at this moment that God, my HP, has entered into my heart and life in a way which is indeed miraculous. he has provided me with a means of survival that guide me through the struggles in life that before my recovery, i had no idea how to solve. with sheer willpower i could not ever foresee how i could live as rightly as i thought i should. the miracle is my recovery, a way of life that was beyond me as long as i continued to live by self-propulsion. today, and for the year ahead, i get to live with hope, soul-wholeness, inner happiness, and peace of mind, not forgettin the condition i was in that brought me to recovery. i will make each day one of preparation for better things ahead. i will not dwell on the past or the future, only on the present. i will live the solutions to fear of the future, all thoughts of unkindness and bitterness, all my dislikes, my resentments, my sense of failure, my disappointments in others and in myself, my gloom, and my despondency, as i go forward, in this new year, into a new life. i look forward to the journey of the new year usin kindness to make the people around me happy. ya know, it feels so much better to plan what i can do for others rather than bitchin bout what i aint got in my life. when i look back over the experiences of the past year, where i have come from, and where i am hopefully headed for the next, i feel grateful for the 365 new opportunities. i have the answers to my alcoholism today, i aint gotta worry about fightin the enemy within so long as i keep the forgiveness, hope, and love recovery has taught me to use. i am a miracle because of my HP, recovery, and ya’ll in the fellowship. 1 day @ a time...
