Joy In Our Recovery

I take a leap of faith so I can trust the process of looking at what my fear is telling me so I can see why commitment is so difficult for me. I have been running around most of my life avoiding this uncomfortable feeling of sadness and anger. It is time to clear out this path that has created so much self-sabotage. I can take charge and reduce self-harm today by staying connected in prayer and meditation. The illusion of mind-created fear can feel so convincing and trap me into inaction. My higher power alleviates this need to obsess about this darkness of doubt. When I get lost and do not know what to do I go back to the basics that always bring me back to my center. The wisdom is knowing when to check in spiritually with ourselves and all the other pieces of life naturally fall into place. I can take a look at the messy parts in my life today and I see my sleep routine lacks structure. In this part of my life, I have felt a lot of defeat and I get on track for a week or so then it all goes to the wayside. I remember the slogans of the program like easy does it and first things first. This practice helps me stay god-centered and that I am just human learning how to evolve in this ever-changing world. I am grateful to not take myself too seriously for there is a time for this and a time to be humorous and easygoing. The service I remember is showing up and doing the best I can by learning from others who have more experience. There is nothing that satisfies my spiritual maturity more than being helpful to my recovery family. When we show up authentically then we allow others to show up for themselves honestly. This mirror of consensual allowing gives us the freedom to explore locked parts of our psychic intuition that help each other heal. I take this part of recovery seriously for too long I have hidden parts of me that I was ashamed of. I get to let that narrative be a thing of the past as I am present to the gift of the recovery process.
