my daily reflections…

it is my belief that the promises within the big book contain factual statements and events i can look forward to which ive been fortunate to experience. they say if im painstakin in my efforts to live the change recovery offers it will come, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, to a new way of life. they will always materialize if i work for them. if i abandon myself to God as i understand God, admit my faults to Him and to my fellows, clear away the wreckage of my past, give freely of what i find and join my fellows, they shall be with me in the fellowship of the spirit. i will get to live among em, as i trudge the road of happy destiny beside em. if i follow the design for livin as a guide for my life, remain willin to grow along spiritual lines, and follow the 12 spiritual principles set down before me as guides to progress, i will get to experience a life change. i will be amazingly lifted up and set on my feet. no matter what i may live through in my life, recovery has shown me how it can work to solve my most essential problems, resentment, self-centered fear, and ego or false pride. when the goin gets rough, ive learned to rely upon this thing we do as a solution to the problems set before me. whether they are brought by me or come out of the clear blue sky, the design for livin hasnt failed me yet. as i continue to spare no effort to become all that God would have me become, follow every good leadin of what i believe my HPs will is, take each day with no backward look, face the days problems with my HP, and seek Gods help and guidance as to what i should do in every situation that may arise, this design for livin does not fail me. today im blessed to be graced with an ability to get in touch with the creative child who is still alive within me. ive learned humility is tellin the truth about myself, humiliation is when someone else does it for me. when i willingly choose humility im allowed new growth each day. as i follow my priority list, Gods will, recovery, and service toward others, keepin my core business sobriety in this moment, i get to clear my past and create a better future for me. 1 day @ a time...
