goin with the flow of my recovery helps me better go with the flow of the evolvin world around me. through prayer and meditation i get to improve my conscious contact with my HP as i understand Him. with the amazin and awe inspirin works of spiritual awareness, i get to let loose the fear and worry that used to hold me back. the only way i could do this back in the days of doin my dirt was to drink enough liquid courage so i didnt have to face either. and ya know it never lasted. it always showed back up after the illusion alcohol provided wore away my day. faith was found in alcohol. i knew it would always work to take away the fears and worry i held. i learned through this thing we do how to use faith to overcome the fear of failure, of success, of the future, of the past, of sickness, of hangovers, and a premature death. the wrong set of ideas and attitudes, were taken away with hope, faith, willingness, humility, and the spiritual awareness recovery taught me to use. recovery taught me how to surrender these fears and worries to my HP, it was somethin id never did before, let loose ego & false pride and use honest & hopeful humility, and so i do it. i now try to think faith instead of fear. as my time in recovery has grown and evolved, ive learned how to nurture faith in place of fear. spiritual power is my HP in action. my HP can only act through others and myself. whenever i, however weak i may be, allow my HP to act through me, then all i think and say and do is spiritually powerful. it is not i alone who produces a change in my life. good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit, and i am my own gardener. today, i am grateful for a recovered and healthy state of mind. today actions, not my ego, yield maintenance of a healthy, balanced, and sane heart, mind, and soul. prayer and meditation provide me with peace of mind. 1 day @ a time...
