THE DAILY SOLUTION: This is the promise of Recovery. Recovery is where we came from daily. Recovery is who we are and Recovery in all its various forms is our destiny. Like a seed, we have full potential within us; when we plant ourselves in the soil of Recovery and water our dreams and life with Faith, we begin to step into and realize that potential. And just like the seed, we express in perfect time - not all at once, but over time. One of my intentions in life is to be so nestled into the arms of our higher power that I am fully relaxed and present in every moment. When I lived my life from a place of ego and needing significance in order to feel worthy, I would chase and chase and chase for very little reward. Finally after a whole lotta chasing and not very much reward, I just gave it up surrendered. And I asked higher power of my understanding to take over and show me who I am, who I’m not and how to step into the abundance of recovery I so eagerly desired. That prayer and request sounds nice, but it’s a humbling process that usually means your world is going to flip upside down before it starts to really rock. When we lean on Love and on the higher npower for guidance and truly ask for real Faith to live by Faith and not by sight, the first thing that has to happen is that all the things, situations, people, etc. in our lives who we’ve given our power away to have to be challenged and reframed. If your goal is to trust our higher power, to live Its will for your life and to be used up by our recovery so at the end of your life you have FULLY expressed and given every last DROP of your purpose, then everything that has your power that is NOT in alignment with that Path of recovery must be challenged and uprooted. There is no other way. So if you want to live your recovery purpose with Faith, everything that is not your purpose will begin to shift away and leave your life – that is, unless you resist, and then life gets stagnant. My aim, my goal is to stay fixed on the experiences I desire (feeling inspired, joyful, happy, scared to step out of my comfort zone, etc.) and detach from the physical form of how they show up. When we detach from the form, we give our higher power room to work to create the EXPERIENCES we truly desire. Living our purpose and being nestled in the arms of our higher power doesn’t mean that you are going to live a boring life. It means you will get to a point where you are filled up, happy and feeling alive most of the time. But it takes constant risk, constant tenacity and the ability to step outside of your comfort zone daily and allow your ego to be humbled in the process. Where we are going as a member of a fellowship is more connected to each other. So the more you can share on yourself, the more honest you can be and the more that you can see reflection of the higher power in everyone you meet, the greater amount of success and fulfillment in your recovery you will have. When we use our free will to connect to the energy of Love and allow our personal higher power to work through it, the form of our life will begin to change. It’s scary at first, but what’s scariest of all is getting to the end of our life with fear and regret. If you choose to connect to higher power, you will be challenged. You will be asked to face your fears. You will be asked to be humbled. And then you will be lifted by the wings of angels who are ready to help you fly because you take yourself lightly. This is the promise of Recovery.
