Learning to let it go. Notes on early recovery.
Pray For An Open Mind
Dear Master, today I pray for an
open mind; clear and free from fear and
ignorance. Today I search for truth.
You are the truth. I will look for you in
everyone I meet today, everywhere I go.
When I search for the truth I find
my Higher Power. When I search for God
I find the truth.
Maybe now, I’ll be forced to rely on my wit
And though I surrendered, it don’t mean that I quit.
Each day is new, a blind, curious journey
With all of life’s trials, God is still my attorney.
Finding Friends In The Unexpected
When picking out what I didn’t like about people I
would often get a resentment. A resentment
only hurts myself. The other person never
even know I didn’t like him or her.
I would be burning up a lot of energy
and time nursing the grudge. A respectable
compardre told me, “When you hear someone
say something that you relate to, Good
or Bad, go and talk to that person when
you get a chance.” By doing this, I have
turned many an “enemy” into a friend.
It’s like turning insanity into truth.
Ignorance into Knowledge.
The first friend I made kept saying, “I
don’t see how anyone can be sober today and
not be grateful.” We went outside and I
said to him –“Were you talking about me in
there?” No No Nooo
