Morning and blessings of this day!

Was quite awhile back, sitting in a meeting and a friend of mine who had just celebrated his first miracle year was asked if he would come up front and share..You could see he was a little on edge, and that was his general demeanor. He says to us, you know I really appreciate you all who got double digit years free from active addiction and have been working for long time ,but I need to know how did you do it early,you know first few years etc..And then after a few minutes of silence he looks up and says ,yeah ,your right I know, WE make meetings,we share to the best of our abilities,we listen for a sponsor and get in to our solution,the STEPS, worked witjh a sponsor and most importanly the application of those steps into the actions and deeds of our lives. We give back to the best of our ability and always keep the God of our own understanding on top of all sitiations .More is always revealed.

There was a moment of silence and we all then laughed together, you see James knew the answers, he just needed to reenforce in his own mind what they were.  When we do the work, there are still times when we get sidetracked or even "complacent" the real enemy. Life will continue to rain down, sometimes clouds ,sometimes sun but as long as we dont pick up ,we cant get high and WE continue our journey always hopeful and staying in that fit spiritual condition, the key to our freedom. A SIMPLE HONEST MESSAGE OF RECOVERY FROM ACTIVE ADDICTION ALWAYS RINGS TRUE.

As I gave James a hug after the meeting and looked in his eyes I saw the light shining knowing he had reenforced his own process and helped us all during that brief period. The miracle of life is continuously revealed in our recovery process, recovered ,a day at a time...No matter how long I do the work, it is always that simple message of hope that reminds me to remain vigilant,seek that Higher Power in all areas of my life and remain happy,joyous and free ,even when its raining!!

If you are new here, just coming around or just coming back,welcome WE do have a message of hope and a promise of freedom,WE just have to remain aware. Welcome to those who continually show up and are those visions of hope and examples that  our program does work.....Have a blessed and productive day, today we are all "newcomers" to this day, I will celebrate life ,granted to me by the grace and mercy of my Higher Power whom I choose to call God. It took awhile for me to really know what I had to do early but once instilled I begin my walk from the Dark into the Light and always in that grace continue to move forward....ONE DAY AT A TIME......
