ฮด through living the program, i learn that my dreams can replace my nightmares. ฮ”

Posted: Wed, Apr 25, 2007 07:27:57 AM

although recovery does not give me immunity from the realities of life, in the Fellowship i can find the support, genuine care, and concern i need to face those realities.
so yesterday i thought about reality TV, and today the reading speaks about being part of reality. well actually it speaks to being able to face reality without the fog of having to use something, anything today. it goes straight to the issue, the first is that as i learn to live the program, i am given the tools i need to face the realities of day-to-day living on this third rock from the sun. the second prong is that when i feel i do not have the tools or abilities to face whatever is coming, i am part of a greater whole that i can lean on and survive, whatever life brings today.
so what am i feeling this morning? well for one i am feeling part of the world today, which is a slight change from what has been going on inside over the past couple of days. i am also feeling more HOPEFUL than i did yesterday. yes i have a few challenges facing me over the next couple of days, and yes i still may not have the means to resolve them, BUT no matter what i can face them with a bit of courage and let them be resolved. i have the tools to do so today, and so for that i am grateful. well enough of writing about what i already know and off to the races to see what i do not!
