โ my true will โ

as i grow in recovery, the concepts of my will and GOD‘s will have begun to merge. and for someone who came to recovery without any knowledge of or desire to practice spiritual principles, this is nothing short of incredulous.
this hardly means that i am without self-will nor that i am some sort of saint. it does mean that i am beginning to understand what i think i WANT or NEED is not necessarily good for me. does that stop me from acting in a manner that i believe will allow me to get my perceived NEEDS and WANTS? absolutely not! but it does mean that i may stop, pause and consider whether i am acting in accordance with a will other than my own and alter my behavior accordingly. and that is the action i need to practice today to allow my will to align with GOD‘s will.
