my daily reflections…

in movin forward to make amends from a list i had to work hard at makin, it does me no good to try rebuildin relationships with those i harmed if i remain stuck in the idea that the steps help only me. though they are an avenue for me to use to heal from my alcoholism, and the traditions are where i begin to use the principles to further build bonds and relationships with others, this, along with step 9, is where the process of workin and dealin with others begins. after all, ive learned a great deal on how to use honesty. ive worked on acceptin and givin hope when i can, ive worked toward havin faith, integrity, and courage to strengthen the relationship i have with self. and ive used willingness and humility to build and sure up a relationship with my HP. this is where i get to start showin those i had harmed that im willin to change so we can move forward in our relationships. but i cant do it alone. i need my HP to help guide me along my path. remainin with the idea that this step only selfishly helps me, is to start fallin back into the behavior and thinkin of the days of doin my dirt. this is where i get to walk along my HP and rely on Him to show me through others how i can continue to improve as i humble myself to the well bein of another. it is my understandin, when i live by my HPs will, i get to continue to grow. as i am entirely honest with somebody about the way i feel i harmed them, they are more likely to open up and express how i truly harmed them from their perspective. as i pocket my pride and go to it, bein hard on myself, and considerate of anothers emotions, i get to free myself of dirty deeds done dirt cheap, so i may hear their concerns. in the midst of the inner emotional upheaval this may cause me, it is their well bein that is most important. if i keep focused on the task at hand, i accomplish my work as my HP would have me. its with this focus on developin better relationships, i get to succeed and show passion and empathy toward another. i get to express how grateful i am to my HP for the life that has been given me, by doin this simple task with anothers emotional health in mind. as i remain open-minded to their response, keepin it simple, spiritually, i get to heal and so do they. 1 day @ a time...
