my daily reflections…

it was explained to me that it didnt matter if i believed in God or not if i wanted to get this thing. it was explained to me that all i had to do was believe in SOMETHIN other than joel. as i looked around and seen that there were people who were not all like me, they had dif jobs, dif ethnic backgrounds, and were raised dif. what they all had was faith, a faith that this thing really worked for them as a whole. i adopted that faith and it eventually led me back to the God of my youth. im grateful for this faith today. this step of this thing we do has brought many people i know today, who are different in many ways, together. even though i may be different than many of my friends, we are still bonded together in unity because of this simple step. comin to believe in a power greater than i that can restore me to sanity was a hard thing fer me to do. i had lived fer so long on self-will and self-reliance that i had difficulty acceptin His will in my life. even with all of my religious teachins as a young un i still had trouble gettin reacquainted with the God of my understandin. in many ways, the God of my understandin as a young un, had transcended beyond what i knew as a young un, to somethin even more powerful, today. maybe a different look at Him, or maybe a new understandin of Him, or maybe it was a simple act of final desperation, i really dont know. what i do know today is that without Him i am nothin. i need my HPs guidance and wisdom today to make it through each minute of each day. so, i walk with His will today side by side with Him as best as i can. when i do this i am able to come together with many of my friends, who are in this thing we do, at a rallyin point in our lives. unity becomes the legacy of recovery we all practice together. 1 day @ a time…
