Blog entry for:

purpose in one another, is once again a new take on something i no longer think about, on any sort of regular basis. i just do what i do auto-magically each and every day. i know in my heart of hearts i am an addict. i also have come to understand that i need my peers to let me know when my fly is open or i have a booger hanging out of my nose, spiritually speaking. i also “get” that i never know which of any of my peers may require a bit of my experience, strength or hope, so by purposefully connecting with my peers in recovery, i do this deed on a daily basis. what i heard this morning, before embarking on my daily journey through life, was that my desire to be helpful and more importantly my desire to be helped is a function of my spiritual condition. coming from a background of selfish self-interest, these desires were certainly ones of with which i had very little familiarity. i had to “learn” how to help others with no expectation of return and how to allow myself to admit i needed help and accept the help that was offered. good thing i stuck around until that “miracle” happened. 😜
after coming back from my home group, this afternoon, i moved into getting rid of the clutter withing my closet of “misfit electronics.” the next step in my day, is to head out and recycle those pieces of obsolete technology. it amazes me, that i held on to so much for so long, that it will take three trips to get rid of it all. i am not sure has inspired this drive to de-clutter my stuff and i really do not care. what i do know is that there are two boxes i have moved twice, without ever looking at what is in them. i have sent out feelers to my peers if they desire what they may find in one of them and the other one, i need to take a peek at and see if there are any treasures that i may desire. that is the next thing on my “hit parade,” this afternoon. so it is time to get this posted and move into getting rid of stuff, after all, staying clean, means i get to clean up the stuff i have accumulated over the years, even the physical stuff that i no longer need or use. it is a good day to let go of what i do not use.
