pink cloud...

had a great meeting today, and was reminded of how it can be when first in the program...it must be a God thing, for many of us to experience that spiritual 'hi'...what is so ironic, is that as one progresses in the program of recovery, that pink cloud returns...in a more mature way, if you will...

sooooooooooooo...be encouraged! you can always have your pink cloud; given by grace...if you are willing to work for it...so-to-speak, one day at a time...

discouragements...

if these did not come, there would be no journey...no lessons...no life...

we can look upon these as an adventure of self discovery...

when discouragements are faced for what they are...

{which they are always, when looked at from within, rooted in selfishness...(sorry!)}

...they disappear and the energy felt as discouragement or frustration...levels out and becomes peaceful essence of being...

home group...

am soooooooooooooooo thankful for my home group...

this is where i 'show up' every day, and work towards having healthy relationships. this is also where i am able to practice that rigorous self-honesty...this is where i learn how to be responsible. this is where i learn how to live life on life's terms. this is where i give back what i have been given. this is where i can be at home; and learn to be comfortable in my own skin. this is where my friends will tell me the truth about me...good and bad!

lots of times we come into the program so beat up we don't think there is any good...this is just another example of the unhealthy extremes of the alcoholic-addict thinking...

not only do we need to be called on our 'bs'...we also need to be encouraged...

thanx to my home group, 'happy destiny'...much love going out to them today...
