Pain
We all experience pain. It can be mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual. Anytime we are out of balance in any of those areas the pain can manifest in any of the other areas. If I am off in the spiritual area, I can feel it in my body. If I have a physical injury I […]
When we need it.
I am reminded how God will give us opportunities to change how we live when we feel we need it. Now we may not get what we think we need or want but we are given a change. When I first got sober, I tried to remain sober with the same life I had when […]
Reliance on Source
Today I choose appreciation for my being a spark of the Divine Source energy. Today I appreciate me with all of the balances and imbalances. I allow myself the gift of accepting that each experience is part of the Divine design for my life. Today all other beings are accepted as a physical manifestation of […]
Change
I have been involved in in lives of thousands of people, and I have witnessed many of them change. I have gone through complete changes, physically, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally. I changed from an active drinker to a person with no desire for alcohol. I have gone from a person who would cheat on anyone with […]
Doubt and knowing
I am reminded how I used to doubt the existence of the Creator. I would cling to some fancied idea of a god who was described in a book yet as I grew older, I became confused about the god described in that book, so I started researching. I have discovered a new deeper understanding […]
Blind pride.
For many years I existed in the condition called blind pride. It occurred when I held on to one set of beliefs and refused to even acknowledge any other beliefs as valid. Today I understand that I needed to experience the frustration and anxiety which occurred when I was living in my blind pride to […]
No worries.
I am reminded that making plans for the future is just fine as long as I don’t set myself up emotionally. I used to get myself into some heavy expectations about future events and I always ended up being disappointed. Now I recall the words of one of my sponsors when he suggested I plan […]
Can’t stop it.
I am reminded how the Divine design for my life will not be denied. I cannot stop the will of God. I used to have a huge chip on my shoulder which brought me into a mindset of contempt prior to investigation. No matter how wonderful the idea or information I would immediately revolt against […]
Spiritually fit.
As a gratefully recovering alcoholic, this means I get to go anywhere and do anything. When I first got sober, I was relieved of the compulsion to drink, however I had no idea how to respond in old drinking situations without much discomfort. I later came to understand I had to become spiritually fit in […]
Blame and trust
I am reminded that I would best be served when I drop blame from my thoughts and words. I no longer live as a victim of my parents, the church, government, society, or culture. I choose to take accountability and responsibility for my own reactions to life. I remember that trusting the Divine design for […]
