my daily reflections…

in a meetin last evenin we discussed how sometimes the best way we can be of service to another, to ourselves, or our HP, is just live our recovery as best as we can at any given moment in time. its been my personal experience that sometimes the best way i can make an amends to another is to live my recovery as best as i can. ive learned how to love myself from recovery. ive learned that i can still make mistakes in my daily livin. ive learned that in my humanness, though i may never accomplish the perfection of my HP, it doesnt mean that i cant still try to. love without strings is an unconditional act which my HP gives me each mornin, throughout my day, and evenin. in tryin to be as much like my HP, or in doin His will, i hafta be willin to give the love He provides to me away to others. its not about likin anybody, cause i aint gotta. what i must do is love everybody with as much equality as i can muster. just as this mornins readin suggests, nothin will so much insure immunity from drinkin as intensive work with other alcoholics. it is an act of love toward another to share my story in hopes that they may find somethin within it that helps them. it is an act of positive, healthy, self-love to share my story with another, if they may have it. my sponsor taught me early in my recovery that the best way i can get out of self, relievin myself of self-pity, loneliness, or my personal problems brought on by da itty-bitty shitty committee that tries to crowd my head, makin me do my will, is to help another, whether in recovery or not. and ive done what my sponsor suggested, and it works just as this mornins daily suggests, just as my sponsor suggested. when i accept everythin that comes my way as a part of life, i get the opportunity to show through action my HPs, and recoverys, works. when i make use of what recovery teaches me, i get to help other people. ive learned, and believe, one of the many differences between me and God: God doesnt want to be me as much as i want to be like Him. why would i want to edge Him out? love creates healthy relationships. 1 day @ a time...
