~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME

07/02 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY During our days of active addiction, many of us desplayed almost dazzlingly fertile powers of imagination. In no time at all, we could dream up more reasons -- or, rather excuses -- for pursuing our addictions than most people use for all other purposes in their entire lives. When we first come to The Program, our once-imaginative minds seem to become lethargic and even numb. "Now what do I do?" many of us wonder. Gradually, however, the lethargy disappears. We begin learning to live and become turned on to life in ways that we never dreamed possible. AM I FINDING THAT I CAN NOW ENJOY ACTIVITIES THAT I WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER IN THE OLD DAYS? TODAY I PRAY May God give me a new surge of energy directed toward "turning on to life" rather than making excuses for not handling my responsibilities. May He allow my out-of-order imagination to be restored -- not to the buzzing overactivity of my compulsive days, but to a healthy openness to life's boundless possibilities. TODAY I WILL REMEMBER. Turn on to life. Again another good one for me.. altho I had a major break through Sunday and stepped away from the computer.. to go hike in the park, I didn't yesterday after work. And I really wanted too.. but got home and turned on the computer instead and that's how it all went down So.. ONE DAY AT A TIME.. and I'm back to day one. hugsss with love
