That's the bottom line 'cuz I said so!!
Posted On 04/07/2009 20:32:33 by StevieRay1964

Isn't is amazing how we can be given the gift of recovery by our HP...yet we test the very boundaries we set?  It's like playing chicken with our three circles...I have found that my "little addict" loves to play between middle and inner circle behaviors...and I end up wondering how I got there!!!!

I just wanted to throw this random thought out to let you know that it's OK to struggle...if you don't struggle, you can't grow!

But, there comes the time for "the bottom line" as Stone Cold Steve Austin used to say...and that time comes when you "wake up" and say..."Ya know what?  I don't need to go there.  I know where that leads, and I am stronger than that!"

That's on our good days...we all fall...but we don't stay down when we remember Who picks us up, cleans our wounds, and surrounds us with grace...

Enjoy that grace today.  I can't live without it!!!

Yep - When we stop "struggling", get complacent or start seeing if we can sit in the barbershop and not get our haircut, we need to check our six - because there's usually a bandit on our tail. I must always remember that my spiritual condition is what determines how I live my life...


Thanx,


Dennis
