my daily reflections…

im so very blessed today to be included in a group of people who dont count me out, but in, due to the defects that make me who and what i am. because of a common strivin to overcome my personal defects, ive become a brother who gets promoted and can promote others to gain personal virtue. though i may never reach perfection, with the admittance of my character defects and shortcomins, i get to progress along spiritual lines toward what my HPs will is for me, together with others. i dont have to remain stuck in an unhealthy, unrealistic, loneliness anymore. i get to share what ive found through personal inventory, when ready, what may be a savin grace for another, especially myself. ive learned in recovery, “no one succeeds without effort. mind control is not my birthright. when i succeed, i get to own my success toward perseverance.” ive also learned that today when i have faith and perseverance to stay on my path and do what is necessary whether or not it gives me immediate results and gratification, im workin toward lettin go of my impatience, procrastination, fear, and doubt. it is how my individual humility and integrity grow, with the help of others. i understand today throughout my recovery that i havent gotten a lucky break at the right time, it was preceded by a history of hard work, positive thinkin, and bein open and unblocked so that i can attract that which is positive and good for me. my compulsions for control may tempt me to quit and give myself over to defeat, but with the courage and strength i gain from my fellows, i get to live perseverance. however stressful a moment is, and certainly not at my command, it will change. with help from my fellows, i get to learn and practice the serenity to accept the process of recovery and live the change toward courage to be true to my part. fortunately, the spiritual principles of recovery enhance everythin good i have to look forward to. da big book promises If im painstakin about this phase of my development, i will be amazed before im halfway through. im amazed... 1 day @ a time...
