i only have to be miserable if i choose to be? what if my life really sucks and nothing is turning out as i expected? what can i possibly do to be less miserable?
well, according to this morning's reading i can trade my misery for recovery! if i choose to speak with another member, or work with my sponsor, or go to a meeting, or do that heinous assignment that my sponsor gave me, or work with a sponsee, or do service work or just about any other of the many spiritual tools that i have been given, my life may not look any better on the outside, but i will become more accepting of the current situation and hence a bit less more miserable.
most of the time when i find myself in misery, i have forgotten that GOD provides me with everything i need on a daily basis but i want more. this makes total sense to me, because i always want MORE and when i am in the disease of addiction the NEED FOR MORE is so overwhelming, i overlook what i have. taking any of the simple suggestions of the reading, flips the record over and i become grateful for what i have.
this program may or may not change the outside aspects of my LIFE but it certainly changes the inner part. so for me today, i choose recovery!
