what i can say about the results ive experienced from livin the principles of recovery, is that ive had many “ah-ha” moments, which have led to a spiritual experience that started the day i entered the rooms and continues even as i write this personal daily. i feel like i dont have to really take the time to try to figure out how, or why, it works. what i have to do if i want to continue to receive the gifts the spiritual principles offer, is do em as directed by the big book. if one wants to call it an enigma wrapped in a mystery, im cool with it. what i do understand is, if i want to change and live a life that doesnt cause problems for myself or others, continuin to live and learn more about what the gifts ive been given, is to, as said, do what the big book says. in the days of doin my dirt i couldnt truly listen, i couldnt do as another suggested, i was too full of self. even as i may have thought i showed forgiveness, hope, or love back then, the reality of anger, hate, loneliness, and all the negative, unhealthy, self- “words,” through action and behavior, clearly showed my faulty thinkin and truth of the matter. it would be like me tryina say i know what God is thinkin or gonna do; what His will is. all i can honestly do, as suggested in this mornins daily reflection, is tell the story of the results of ive lived before my recovery and the results, since. when i cling to the belief that all things are possible with my HP, honestly acceptin this belief, it becomes a ladder upon which my soul, i, can climb from the lowest pit of despair to the sublimest heights of peace of mind. this is where i have been able to grow to, because of doin as needed via the big book. ive learned peace of mind comes from within, its fools game to seek it without. when im doin all that recovery has taught me to maintain peace in my life, i get to continue to have those “ah-ha” moments, growin my spiritual experience. usin what ive learned to grow in healthy love for myself, i get to grow in in healthy brotherly love too. humbly takin care of me, is proactively takin care of others. i just gotta remember everythin is gonna be all right, understandin situations i still may fear are rarely as bad as the fear itself. this riddle works. 1 day @ a time...
