You may think that there are a thousand different things being done in recovery, really there's just a thousand different ways of saying a few simple things.
The more I write this, this daily reflection: as it simply can be said; I see how far I'll come and that is the value of looking back.
I see priorities and structure developing, becoming part of my daily routine and its simplest form; and almost part of what is the things I add to complicate my life with a matter of what is to simplify my life as well.
see one of the things that I wanted to bring into this writing and this reading as itself is: reflection, you now seeing my part and seeing how far I've come; as for in a line with all first say the other such as the daily reflections was crafted around that of you know each step itself: the dedication to each step for each month;
there are moments where I attempt to touch base on that and there are moments where I just elaborate within my own recovery, per se showcasing what it is as where I'm at in my recovery; for this is experience that I have to give: you know show up into your life/ the miracle, for that is what is life itself.
and yet sometimes we see our step forward as discounting that of what that is: a step forward, because we went through some challenge/ a hardship/ a moment of sadness/ a moment where we started reacting and that of relying on our stinking thinking; as yet to Simply say it'd be really take any steps back, or are we forgetting how far we have come: it can be both?
And so that's what I want to highlight today, this moment of counting our wins and seeing how far we have come; even if it seems like a back flight, even if it seems as if all the work we have put in is just for not.
it is true it's not that we deserve to see less value in how far we have come or even that of being so willing to condemn our past because in truth it brought us to this point, even that of when we were actively committing suicide/ active in our addiction, there's something there; we can make it meaningless and we can make it the world: as if it's our own Wonder of the world.
yes there's points to where even myself, even calling it that “ the wonder of the world,” in my head of being able and capable of just: seen past the fallacies in life and really pinpointing to the accuracy of connecting the dots: highlighting what is not being said because I have the rose covered glasses; sometimes it's a gift and sometimes it's a curse, but it's my life.
The parts where it's a curse are when I am still willing to condemn everything when it just doesn't make sense to where I am at in my life; just because I am right doesn't make somebody else wrong.
and just because they are wrong doesn't make me right, within the sense of itself that no matter if I do everything right I still have room to grow; for is that not highlighting Step 11 in and of itself to the simplest fact of how I see and interpret and practice Step 11 which is simply that of: to keep making progress in ways that I can comprehend serenity: to bring something to the table if not find a way to build the table and maybe that's what I can bring to the table: for it's all based around what I am able.
So maybe, in the simplest aspect of itself that it really comes down to how can I get good to be good for others, I mean and it's simplest aspect of itself you know yes: it's simply comes down to seeing the problem as a whole within that and then crafting and focusing on the solution; for you know we can all say that the things that are frustrating and inconvenient are absolutely just that and it's in that moment when we just start wanting to blow up the world because something is within side ourselves a mess and we can't accept that messenger from the outside.
so even if it comes down to how silly things seem in life, even if it's from another or that of ourselves because we don't want to do it that way; it's so easy to get into that and yet it's so easy to get into a point of itself to just see that we don't have to fight that war or even that participate in that battle: we just get the Shelf in life and do our best: even if our best is to try.
for the bottom line is this is just an experience, regardless of who knows what and who can do what it comes down to what are we going to do about our lives; when we start becoming good, it's then that we can then start creating something to per say replace that of the old archaic and even outdated systems: that in the height of their miracles of how they got us to this point, are just not adequate to meet Life On Life's terms today.
I so then the whole slogan of that go in that God and even that of Let go and that live: takes shape takes hold takes truth beyond measure, it's in this that we see that all we have to do is practice the principles and all our affairs; what principle can we use in this well it's about attraction rather than promotion.
and so any number itself it comes down to well if it's about attraction rather than prom, then yes it's about building something new because I finally have a strong Foundation because it's not being built on quicksand; and so in that simplest aspect of itself that it comes to this point: except what was to embrace looking be for only then I can see thee “being true to thyself.”
Topic
Finding truth: So I ask myself what kind of Truth do I want to see and regardless of what I see how can I maintain serenity, as the simplest aspect of itself is: I have the tools but will or how or when, will I use them; When it comes down to it, just because I can doesn't mean I have a right to and even if I have the right to am I really attracting over promotion?
How: Honest Open willing
For maybe “how,” is “what,” to you or is your “why?”
Why: welcoming home yourself
What: Wonder How bout today?
But it's about finding your why/what (Purpose) through how (efforts) you are going to do it.
Finding truth:
Honesty👀
So I ask myself what kind of Truth do I want to see and regardless of what I see how can I maintain serenity,
Open-mindedness👀

APS: Acronyms (bold) Principles (italic) Slogans (underlined)
Slogans are wisdom written in shorthand and Acronyms are just the sum/the Virtues, of all that wisdom: WISDOM: When In Self, Discover Our Motives
I've learned to let go and let God, for it's true I just want to live and I bet there's a point where so do all others; in its simplest form of Truth: altruism, do I really have the right to promote instead of attract? do I really have the right to say I am better than what they say, simple answer is yes; cuz I'm capable of renting space in my head for everybody, being the professional door opener at that point. and yet it comes down to this, I can be all of that: the door opener and the one that invited everyone to the VIP section, as well as the one that hosts the party and even not him just be the one that cries at the party; and yet the simplistic aspect of itself is how did I make someone smile today: for that just shows that I tried.
