Time flies. I just looked up at my little counter and realized that I had 60 days. It seems like only yesterday when I was released from the bondage of the disease of addiction by my Higher Power. I remember the anger and confusion that resulted from this liberation and I remember shortly thereafter the acceptance and willingness to walk on the beam.
It has been an event filled two months. I have used this time to work through a lot of issues and I had a lot of help from fellow recovering addicts. I have relied on my Higher Power and my supports a lot during this time. I have been on the phone with a recovering addict every single day and I have been going to three meetings a week.
I found that it is extremely helpful to blog about the experiences that I am going through. Just getting my thoughts and feelings out there really helps. I am grateful for the positive feedback that I have received. I feel blessed that I can offer my experience, strength and hope to this community.
I may be still riding the pink cloud, but today I am excited by recovery. I am absolutely thrilled that my Higher Power came into my life in such a deep and personal way. I feel that I now have a strong Step 1, 2, and 3 experience and I am committed to working the rest of the steps.
This week I will be cleaning up some lose ends for my First and Third Steps and I have an opportunity to share my story on Thursday. I am excited because I can give back what was given to me.
I must never forget who I am and where I have been. I can deal with each temptation to act out by surrendering it to my Higher Power. I must work every Step like my life depends on it.
I am grateful for sixty days of clarity and I am grateful for 12 Step Recovery, because for me, it is working!
