my daily reflections…

recovery has taught me that i am part of a livin culture and capable of change and growth. it has opened me up to acceptin the change recovery offers. its offered me the ability to set healthy progressive goals. today i dont have to chase after the meaninless goals i once did, like back in the days of doin my dirt. today i am acquainted with the concept of hope, hope that is healthy and meaninful. i get to use this steps concept of spiritual awareness to provide me with an inner need to keep a conscious contact with my HP. this relationship helps me implement and maintain a longin that my life and recovery will continue to grow as i continue to practice the recipe of recovery He guides me toward. this step keeps the relationship i have with my HP thrivin, progressin, and maturin. its quite simple, all i have to do is seek through prayer and meditation to improve my conscious contact with God, as i understand Him, prayin only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out. when i receive what i perceive is His will in my mornin times of quiet self-examination and introspection, i get the convenience to live it out as my day moves forward. this supplys me with the hope to obtain my goals, whether short or long term. as ive lived and practiced my recovery, ive set goals and would ya believe, those goals have come to fruition. with diligence and vigilance, those procured goals continue to keep optimism afloat within my heart and mind. even through success and failure. i get to learn what works and what doesnt. in my recovery there are moments of hesitation, but i dont lose faith in myself or my HP because im constantly strengthened by workin my program, usin what ive learned from an experience to grow toward acceptin change, accomplishin my personal recovery goals. shit may not turn out the way i want it to, but it always turns out when i keep hope and faith. 1 day @ a time...
