my daily reflections…

so far as anybody knowin i am in recovery from alcoholism or addiction i do not care. i feel like i have been judged all my life and if someone wants to continue, its totally on them. i was told early in my recovery that it was none of my business what others thought of me, that what ever they have to say about me is most generally a reflection of their insecurities. as for others, i always respect them as a person and respect their recovery wishes. i am not the person today to throw another under the bus to try to make myself look or feel better. as i mentioned, if i am to speak of another in a bad manner it is a reflection on me. when i am livin as my HP would have me be, and focusin on my own recovery i havent time to worry about what others are doin or sayin. i have learned through seemingly insuperable work on dissolvin my false sense of pride and ego the responsibility i am entrusted with when it comes to respectin the recovery of others and myself. this responsibility means that i must protect my recovery with everything i have. in doin so it lends that i must be mindful of the others within the fellowship whose recovery is just as important as i feel mine may be. livin in a manner that allows my recovery to be shared so that others may hopefully find a way out, means that i respect their wishes and keep in confidence their recovery if they decide to share it with me. i understand how important my recovery is to me: how it is, for me, a life and death matter. it is therefore, that i protect anothers with just as much gravity, if not more, providin the integrity the program needs to move forward to another day. 1 day @ a time...
