taking some responsibility

Posted: Sun, Oct 24, 2004 10:44:45 AM

for my recovery
for me that looks like :
  • going to meetings.
  • read the available literature.
  • work the steps with my sponsor (which of course implies that i have a sponsor and actually call and talk with him.
  • work on and maintain my conscious contact with a HIGHER POWER on a a daily basis.
  • working with others to give away the gift that was freely given to me.
  • and giving back to this program my time and talents, without expectations of reward, through service
is this the easier softer path? that depends on the state of spiritual self today. i do know however, that when i follow these simple actions to the best of my ability everday, i do get a better chance to deal with whatever LIFE happens to throw at me without using or withdrawing into a fantasy world. I CHOOSE TO RECOVER and I TAKE THOSE ACTIONS THAT ARE SUGGESTED because i want to LIVE CLEAN TODAY.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) The people do not fear death; to what purpose is it to (try to)
frighten them with death? If the people were always in awe of death,
and I could always seize those who do wrong, and put them to death,
who would dare to do wrong?
