for me, using dreams come fairly often and always remind me to look to see if i am living what i am saying, or as my friend Linda likes to say ‘walking the talk.’
here is the perfect warning sign to look in depth at the current state of my program and see how far i have strayed from what i ‘suggest&rsquo the men i sponsor do for a daily program.
when was the last time i was at a meeting? when was the last time i called my sponsor? when was the last time i did any step work? when was the last time i prayed? how am i being of service to the fellowship that gave me this new life? when was the last time i sat down with a newcomer and welcomed them to the program?
and that just barely scratches the surface, as you can see, for me the program is just a little bit more than ‘not using drugs no matter what.’ but do not get me wrong, without abstinence from drugs and the desire to maintain that abstinence no matter what the rest of those questions are totally irrelevant and trivial.
so if i look at my personal program of recovery as my castle against relapse, it is up to me as master of this keep to maintain the condition of the castle to protect me from the ravages of my disease.
