after the meeting last night i had the chance to share my experience, strength and hope with two of my fellow travellers
their concerns seemed to complex and without any apparent solution
...but after this morning's reading i realize that what i shared with them was exactly what i should have
although i seem to be complex and there is no simple way to live, there really is.
by sharing, attending meetings and practicing the principles of the NA program in my life, there is absolutely no reason why i cannot be happy, joyous and free
what seems intractable actually boils down to the fact that i am who i am at this moment, nothing more or less.
just a person suffering from a fatal and incurable disease that can be treated on a daily basis
i need to learn that i am where i am, and it is okay to be less than perfect
my recovery is a gift from GOD and i cannot continue this process unless i accept this gift and cherish it. i am where i am in the process and if i want more than i need to be more diligent in applying these priciples in my life.
when i am twisted up about something, it probably is a sign that i am trying to complcate this simple solution
simplicity is the key to serenity
this implies that i do not have to analyze and complicate.
i need to go back to the source and research my concerns in the literature that is provided
i need to go to a meeting snd listen to others share about how they are applying these principles in their life
and most of all i must let go of the illusion that i am so f_cking unique that nothing will ever work for me
today is a gift.
i am okay just the way i am at this minute!
