my daily reflections…

its been my experience that when i share what it was like, what happened, and what its like today, i get to become a little more liberated from my disease of alcoholism. idk what others have thought about my recovery process as ive grown and evolved through it, livin it as best as i can, but i do know what its like to watch someone come into the rooms, and see the light begin to glow in their eyes and spirit. i cant speak for another, however i can speak for myself. it took me time early on to get this thing we do. as my sponsor and i grew our relationship, i could sense things feelin better within me. and the relationships i was beginnin to partake in were like none i had ever experienced before. today, as i continue to develop, and the world keeps turnin, offerin new and excitin adventures, i get to experience a side of people that i had never paid much mind to due to my own self-centeredness. ive learned that people can sense when another is bein sincere and reciprocate the genuineness. the bonds i get to build with others gives me the courage to be even freer. idk what tomorrow holds, but i do know that if i continue to be the person im workin toward becomin i will continue to carry the message with an attraction rather than promotion. i mean, its what i seen in others early on that made me want what they had. when i mindfully acknowledge that others, like myself, are still growin spiritually, and forgive their past offenses, as i forgive my own, i get to live the blessins of a lovin heart. it feels good to be entirely ready to have God remove all my resentments and help me forgive all past offenses, so that i can try to grow more with His guidance. recovery has taught me that i must take good care of myself before i can be good to others. in doin this, i learn how to be a friend, a good parent, a good partner, to have good relationships with others. in sharin my story, keepin it based on the reality of my past, instead of fairy tale storys, explainin how i made a self-appraisal, how i straightened out my past, and why i am endeavorin to help another, i get the opportunity to possibly help another so i can continue to grow within with peace of mind. 1 day @ a time...
