using dreams are but the most obvious symptom that my program may be lacking.
for me, i need to look at my behaviors daily for the creeping progress of complacency, and lack of due diligence in my program.
the things i look for are:
  • did i gossip or talk about someone behind their back
  • was i an a$$hole while driving
  • did i hurt someone with a smart a$$ comment
  • did i ignore a cry for help
  • did i pray and meditate today
  • was i judgemental or defensive
  • was i present for those i love and care about
  • did i go out of my way to "stir the pot" or foster chaos and discord
  • and most of all did i remember who and what i am
for me these are just the tip of the iceberg, but they provide a barometer of my spiritual weather.
i want to believe that i am this spiritual giant who has this recovery thing down, but the truth is i am just a human being that suffers from self-cnteredness arising from the disease of addiction.
... but just for today i will do my best to live this program and see what happens.

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

Book 2

2) The tree which fills the arms grew from the tiniest sprout; the
tower of nine storeys rose from a (small) heap of earth; the journey
of a thousand li commenced with a single step.
