the will of the POWER that fuels my recovery. even tough, i often do not have a clue what that will may be.
as i sit here this morning, i am struck by the week i have been having and the immense sense of being on the correct track that is bringing me. listening for clues of the will of the POWER that fuels my recovery, involves very little effort on my part, except to pay attention to the world around me. as i become more socially active, and less socially needy, i am starting to get a sense of who i am, perhaps for the first time ever and although i can ill afford to allow acquaintances to drift away, i myself putting distance between me and some of them. seriously, i have always been more than a bit standoffish, however for the first time, i can choose where i feel the need to put some distance in my relationships and where i can allow them to grow even stronger and tighter. i am certainly glad, that no one has flat out asked, if there is anything wrong, because i am more than apt to say something very unpleasant, no matter how honest it may be in describing what i have yet to define for sure.
that is the action of the POWER that fuels my recovery, protecting me from myself and it is up to me to listen to that direction and move on.
anyhow i am running a bit behind this morning, not quite sure whwre the morning went, but i am certain it is the will of the POWER that fuels my recovery, for me to go to work and earn my daily bread.
