there are times i find it difficult to believe by tellin what it was like, what happened, and what it is like today, can possibly help another. in usin the spiritual principles of honesty and courage, tellin another my deepest, darkest, secrets, i get the opportunity to share my dark past. i get to tell another, my sponsor, and later others, the shit i found within through personal inventory. this fact-findin and fact-facin process was an effort to discover the truth about the shit within that made me the person i became. i had to disclose damaged and unhealthy personality so i could name them and then work through those personal problems with my sponsor, and possibly others. this positive and healthy exercise helped me heal and make necessary changes that used to keep my alcoholism alive. i had to learn how to get rid of them promptly and without regret. alone i could have never been able to identify specific words which could label the character defects and shortcomins within that made me behave & think, whether with action or reaction, how i treated myself, others, and the world around me. i needed to have some familiarity with each of the prior spiritual principles to make this attempt at integrity. it was imperative to know how this thing we do termed the emotional, psychological, behavioral, and spiritual deformities i had/have, so i may speak in particulars to the program that are easily understood, identifiable, and relatable. ive since learned that by my efforts to light the dark past, not only helps me, but may also help others. now that i am aware of these characters i get to constantly prepare myself for better things to come. i get to create opportunities, when i am ready for them or be ready when shit happens the way, my HP intends. i get to let my HP manage my worry so that i can be free. i get to be alive in this moment and not blocked by conversations that go over and over in my head. i get to stop tryin to figure everythin out and trust that i will get the right answers at the right time. when my eyes arent blinded by my worries i get to see the beauty of the sunset and be of service to others. by lightin my dark past the things that frighten me most can turn out to be the biggest sources of strength for myself and others. when i get into action, i get out of self. 1 day @ a time...
