Good Morning, December 19, 2014.. Friday........ WALKING THE WAY WE TALK; Words mean nothing until we put them into action. The TwelfthStep reminds me to practice these principles in all my affairs. Ive notice the more experienced people Ive met in recovery have an aura of peace surrounding them, demonstrate the rewards of applying this bit of wisdom in their lives. For need to receive the rewards of the Twelfth Step , it is vital that I practice the spiritual principles of recovery even when no one is looking. I if you talk about recovering but continue to live as you did in active addiction, other people that are in recovery are going to suspect that you are doing nothing more than quoting bumper stickers. Someone like that advises someone to turn it over without having experienced the miracle of the Third Step, chances are the message will fail to reach the ears of the newcomer for whom its intended. I personally feel if I walk what I talk and share my genuine experience in recovery the message will surely be an evident to all. Ive said this before I tried my best to work all of my 12 steps into my daily life and now it seems that a lot of them come naturally. Its like the old saying practice what you preach. After my prayers and then get out my book and read what the days thought is, I sit back and ask for guidance in what to write. What works for me might not work for someone else but I feel that this gives the newcomer and other recovering addicts ideas to work with. Thats why Ive said several times Im open to comments and suggestions, well T.G.I.F. , have a great day have a great weekend, be safe out there. Jimi Jet ,,,,,,,Giacomo JUST FOR TODAY: I will practice the principles of recovery, even when Im the only one who knows.
