OCTOBER 20 2013 JUST FOR TODAY: I am grateful for the freedom to live as I choose. Today, I will accept responsibility for my recovery, make my own choices, and accept the consequences. MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY: Today, I am truly grateful for the gifts that this program has given me. I am truly grateful, that yes I am capable of making better choices, that I am capable of seeing with guidance, what is the next right thing to do. But at times I certainly do slide back to my old behaviors, and I guess I do seek someone else out, to make a decision for me, or that I am sure that others approve of it before I do it. I agree that if I am too continue to grow in my recovery, that I must be willing to make those decisions on my own, for I am able to gain a wealth of strength and hope, from both my good decisions, and my bad decisions. My own personal experiences offer me that growth that I so desperately seek. I will never make all the right decisions, but I can learn how to be able to continue to make better decisions. I just have to be willing to continue to grow, and now that I have my own strength, and that of my Higher Power to also help me when I fall, that I should be more willing to take those chances. I no longer have to be that frightened little boy, who chooses to cower in the corner out of fear. I have never regretted most if not almost everything, that has occurred or happened to me throughout my life, for those incredible experiences, both good and bad, have made me the person that I am today. I know that at times I show and have weaknesses, but those are just simple reminders, that I am still human, with a wide variety of emotions. The greatest thing about me, is that I am not you, that I am different, that i can receive and give and share in a mutual growth, for we both have different strengths to offer one another. That I do not think exactly like you, so that we are able to gain a different perception of events that occur, on our personal journey. It has been my personal experience, that by simply gaining the insight of anothers perception of something, I am better able to understand a more positive side when I have needed too. Sometimes I need that in order to look at things in a correct manner, because at times my mind can be clouded. Today, I embrace all those that are in my life that offer me the continued support, and encouragement to continue to grow and better myself. And for those that choose to be otherwise, to simply let it go, and to not let it consume me, for quite simply, it has become my experience that that is just toxic. Today, I have made a choice to live in the solution, and each day I must recognize, that I really do need to pray for my Higher Powers guidance, to ensure that I am making every effort to stay there. Today, I am aware that I have a purpose, and for that I can be grateful. Just for today, I will have the willingness to really reevaluate my life, and to be able to make those hard decisions, that may have to follow. Just for today, I will accept that there may be the possibility of having to finally step outside of my comfort zone. Just for today, I will ask myself What is it that Fred really needs in his life today?. Just for today, I will pray for the guidance I need, to do the next right thing.
