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.
As today, I will let my let be something because I found a matter of how I will be able to find peace, for yes it is true to the point of seeing my willingness as the point of having life be something that I will be able to just come to letting go; for if I was done with this thought then I would let it go, to no longer learn something from it.
For that is the part of myself that I do have the able to keep on finding this part of myself that I have always been/will be/ and can always have to hold within my life, by that fact that I see that I am life; it is as simple if I want it to be as to the point of “being.”
Yes, I do see that there is the fact of the matter of what life is to be today when it comes to the point of what is finding the balance of life, the balance as within (the inner place of myself/ the[my] inner world) and without (the outer world/what I would see as to the level of pride/ to that the simple fact of how I can come to the point of learning from the Echo of my inner world); so as to keep it simple, is that of the Solution [within]/the truest level of who (the “whom,” to the who is the outer world) you are, to the point of the ego [the without].
As, yes this within recovery as helped me to find the balance within the life of the ego, it is then I see that I have always had a life before is that the way that I practice the principles and all my affairs/ my interpretation of: do not shut the door in the past and then we'll see that we do not regret; for it is that to the same as to learn something: to come to an understanding of.
As to then to the point of what is finding the balance, having understanding, to then come to the point of doing something about it, for we(as from the ego state) we find that life is to be done for us; as to only look to the outer world [the without].
For it talks about this in the big book of AA.
As so that is the point that I have come to within myself because of the tool of recovery by the willingness to find the value within it [as to lose yourself is the only way to find yourself.] for that then the key has been my willingness to stay open [to not shut down and act like counting on the things that I don’t have will be the best for the life that I will want/need to fix my life: that yes the life that I created] by the fact of the matter of what way I will be honest about it.
How: Honest open willing
For maybe “how,” is “what,” to you?
What: wonder how about today?

I don’t and so I let go and let god, it is within that matter of fact that I get out of self-seeking; to be able to try so that I can amend what was to what can be, to then I can see.
For it’s about carrying a message, trusting in your higher power; Practicing the principles in all your affairs. my journey about what is in this meaning within each thing within the wording of Pancake Marathon: you can also go to
I know that isolating can be a big factor in keep not hurting, so essentially don't isolate always Reach Out; and maybe today you're willing to leave a comment and let me know essentially where you're at in your recovery and maybe you're ready to carry a message so share this whatever it may be in a way of giving somebody else a chance at a place where you started:
as maybe you started here and maybe this is where you find a way to start because it's always about how you finish not how you start but it's also about carrying the message and finding your way back to trust in a peace of mind; As giving freely what you didn't have been given.
thank you and always know your shoes do fit just right, that you do deserve to take a space; and it's okay to let go of that hurt when you're ready, I hope that you are today in this moment; thank you.

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.
Casual
Today, I'm going to let things be. I'm figuring out how to find peace by being willing to let go. If I were truly done with a thought, I'd let it go and stop learning from it.
That's the part of myself I can always hold onto - the fact that I am life itself. It's as simple as just "being."
I see that finding balance in life means balancing my inner world with the outer world. It's about finding the solution within myself and understanding my true self, separate from my ego.
Recovery has helped me find that balance. I realize I've always had a life, even before recovery. It's about not dwelling on the past and learning from it instead.
Finding balance and understanding lead to action. We often think life should be done for us, but that's just our ego talking.
The Big Book of AA talks about this.
Recovery has helped me find this balance by being willing to see the value in it. The key has been staying open and honest, not shutting down or relying on things I don't have to fix my life.
Summarize
The author reflects on finding peace and letting go of thoughts. They emphasize the importance of understanding their inner self and achieving a balance between their inner and outer worlds. Recovery is seen as a tool to balance the ego and learn from past experiences, aligning with principles found in the AA Big Book. The author highlights the significance of willingness and honesty in this journey, suggesting that self-discovery comes from openness and acceptance, not from focusing on what's lacking.
Formal
Today, I will practice acceptance because I have discovered a way to find peace. I realize that my willingness to do so is essential to experiencing life as something that I can simply let go of. If I were truly finished with a thought, I would release it and cease trying to learn from it.
This is the aspect of myself that I am capable of continuing to find. It is an aspect that I have always been, always will be, and can always hold within my life, due to the fact that I recognize that I am life itself. It is as simple as I allow it to be, down to the essence of "being."
I acknowledge the reality of what life entails today when it comes to finding balance—the balance within (my inner self, my inner world) and without (the outer world, the level of pride, the simple fact of how I can learn from the echo of my inner world). To simplify it, it is the solution within, the truest level of who you are, versus the ego without.
Yes, recovery has helped me find balance within the life of the ego. I now see that I have always had a life before, in the way that I practice the principles and all my affairs. My interpretation is: do not shut the door on the past, and you will see that you do not have regrets. This is the same as learning something: to come to an understanding of it.
Then, to the point of finding balance, having understanding, and then taking action. For we (from the ego state) find that life is to be done for us, as we only look to the outer world (the without).
The Big Book of AA discusses this.
This is the point that I have reached within myself because of the tool of recovery and the willingness to find value within it (to lose yourself is the only way to find yourself). The key has been my willingness to stay open (to not shut down and act as if relying on the things that I don't have will be best for the life that I want/need to fix my life: the life that I created) by being honest about it.

Finding balance and understanding leads to taking action.
We find that life is to be done for us and only look to the outer world (from the ego state).
The big book of AA talks about this.

Elaborate
Today, I choose to release and let go, having found a path to inner peace. I recognize that true liberation lies in surrendering and accepting life's flow. If I were truly finished with a thought, I would relinquish it and cease to dwell on it.
This ability to continuously rediscover and hold onto my true essence is integral to my being. I am life itself, and embracing this truth is as simple as choosing to "be."
I acknowledge the importance of balance in life – the harmony between my inner and outer worlds. My inner world reflects my true self, while the outer world is influenced by ego and pride. The solution lies in aligning my actions with my true identity and finding balance between my inner and outer selves.
Through recovery, I have found this balance and recognized that my life has always been shaped by how I practice principles and interpret experiences. I understand the importance of not dwelling on the past and instead learning from it.
True balance comes from understanding and taking action. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that life should be done for us, but this is an illusion created by the ego.
The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous addresses this concept. Through recovery, I have learned the value of willingness and staying open to possibilities. The key to my growth has been honesty and a commitment to not relying on external factors to fix my life.
Shortened
The text reflects on finding inner peace and balance through self-awareness and acceptance. It discusses letting go of thoughts, understanding one's true self ("being"), and finding equilibrium between the inner and outer worlds (ego). Recovery has been a tool to achieve this balance, emphasizing principles of openness, honesty, and learning from the past rather than dwelling on regrets. The text also touches on the idea that true understanding comes from within, as opposed to solely focusing on the external world, aligning with principles found in the Big Book of AA. Ultimately, the key is willingness to be open and honest, accepting life as it is, rather than trying to fix a perceived brokenness.

Life is about finding balance both internally and externally. My inner world and the outer world need to be in harmony. Recovery has helped me find this balance by teaching me how to manage my ego. It's about understanding the past, not regretting it, and learning from it. True balance comes from understanding and then taking action.
We often expect life to be done for us, but recovery has taught me the value of willingness and honesty. By staying open and willing to change, I've been able to find myself.

I've come to this point within myself because of recovery and the willingness to find value in it. The key has been my willingness to stay open and honest, not relying on things I don't have to fix my life.
Alternative viewpoint
While it is valuable to find balance and peace within oneself, it's also important to acknowledge and address external factors that contribute to one's struggles. Recovery involves not only looking inward but also understanding how the outside world affects one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It's important to find a balance between self-reflection and taking action to change one's circumstances.

I'm giving up and letting God take control. By doing this, I'm not focused on myself anymore. I'm going to try and fix things, so I can move forward.

By relinquishing control and placing my trust in a higher power, I liberate myself from the shackles of self-interest. This surrender allows me to transcend the limitations of my ego and embark on a journey of genuine transformation. I am no longer consumed by the relentless pursuit of personal gain, but instead, I am driven by a sincere desire to rectify past mistakes and create a future filled with hope and possibility.
Through this process of surrender and self-reflection, I gain a profound understanding of my own limitations and the interconnectedness of all things. I recognize that my actions have consequences that extend far beyond myself, and I am inspired to live a life of purpose and meaning. By embracing the power of forgiveness and compassion, I am able to mend broken relationships and build a brighter future for myself and those around me.
In this state of surrender, I am open to the guidance of a higher power and the wisdom of the universe. I am no longer bound by the limitations of my own knowledge and experience, but instead, I am receptive to new ideas and perspectives.

Ultimately, this process of surrender and self-discovery leads to a greater sense of peace and fulfillment. I am no longer driven by the insatiable desires of my ego, but instead, I am content with the simple joys of life. I am grateful for the blessings that I have received and the lessons that I have learned. I am at peace with myself and the world around me.
