my daily reflections…

i was amazed when i came into the rooms at how many people from different levels of society were affected by alcoholism. i, maybe, like many others, thought it was just derelicts and trench coats that were alcoholics. many may have ended up that way, like myself, but after a period of time in recovery, were people who had good lives, alcohol had just became our master. it amazes me more how God can work in peoples lives to change what is the seemingly impossible. true miracles! all of us! as we walk about the rooms sharin 1 common thread. just as my path deep into my alcoholism was of my own makin, this path of recovery is just the same. i was left with almost nothin when i came into the rooms of this thing we do. i had lost all and damn near myself as a result of my own self-centered action. my sponsor offered me an opportunity to get sober and live free of alcoholism in recovery. the set of spiritual tools/principles he gave me to use were ones he himself and many others had used to get past their own alcoholism. in the end of my active alcoholic days and the beginnin of my recovery, it was all i had left to try. it was my decision to pick em up and create my own path toward recovery usin the tools provided. though they were the same fer everybody, the ways i was to use them, just as the ways i became an alcoholic, were of my own makin. today i live happy, joyous, and free, livin in unity, recovery, and service toward others. the only reason bein is that i made my path of recovery my own. 1 day @ a time…
