โ the will of my HIGHER POWER for me consists of the very things i most value โ

the will of that POWER becomes my own true will. ah, the reading of the wills. for me, this is one of the most profound effects of working the steps, as it allows me to see more than i was ever capable of seeing in the past. this is the pay-off for working the steps, and the first time i started to glimpse a vision of life beyond active addiction, i was amazed by what i saw that i was dumbstruck. for a person like me to be without words is an event worth noting, and i did.
this could continue being a love fest about STEP 11, and the process of STEPS 4 through 9 that got me there, but i think you all get the point, i am grateful that i have horizons, and that those horizons are now visible.as i move into each day, except of course this morning, i take the opportunity to check in with the POWER that fuels my recovery, and see if i can get a clue as to what the will of that POWER is today, and to see how i can align my will to that. this morning, i was all excited about finishing my new computer set-up and as a result, quite incapable of settling in to listen. it is of course the case with writing this little ditty this morning, i just concentrate, so i think i will stop and listen for a second before going on.
not as long as i would have liked, but certainly a nice break from the madness going on, as i move things around.
so where am i going today? well i have an errand in Loveland this morning, more than enough stuff to finish up and get moving on and of course the wonderful world of active recovery. all of this and more is certainly on tap, but what i really want to do, is listen for the will of the POWER that fuels my recovery and allow myself to be guided on the path of my true will, rather than self-will run riot. it i great day to be in recovery and i thimnk i will do what i can to enhance that.
