daily reflections for July 8-AN EVER-GROWING FREEDOM | Milkman's Sober Living:
An Ever-Growing Freedom
The Seventh Step is where we make the change in our attitude which permits us, with humility as our guide, to move out from ourselves toward others and toward God.
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions,p.76
When I finally asked God to remove those things blocking me from Him and the sunlight of the Spirit, I embarked on a journey more glorious than I ever imagined. I experienced a freedom from those characteristics that had me wrapped up in myself. Because of this humbling Step, I feel clean.
I am especially aware of this Step because I'm now able to be useful to God and to my fellows. I know that He has granted me strength to do His bidding and has prepared me for anyone, and anything, that comes my way today. I am truly in His hands, and I give thanks for the joy that I can be useful today.
Daily Recovery Meditations and daily thoughts while reflecting on recovery. Many of these thoughts are from forums and sites that I've created and managed since January 29, 2004. Some are from my own thoughts as they were at those times and some very recent. I believe that sharing thoughts with others reaffirms to me that I've grown in my recovery and I pray that these thoughts may be of help to others in recovery.
