~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
01/03 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
My addiction is three-fold in that it affects me physically, mentally and spiritually. As a chemically-dependent person, I was totally out of touch not only with myself, but with reality. Day after miserable day, like a caged animal on a treadmill, I repeated my self-destructive pattern of living. HAVE I BEGUN TO BREAK AWAY FROM MY OLD IDEAS? JUST FOR TODAY, CAN I ADJUST MYSELF TO WHAT IS, RATHER THAN TRY TO ADJUST EVERYTHING TO MY OWN DESIRES?
TODAY I PRAY
I pray that I may not be caught up again in the downward, destructive spiral which removed me from myself and from the realities of the world around me. I pray that I may adjust to people and situations as they are instead of always trying, unsuccessfully and with endless frustration, to bend them to my own desires.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I can only change myself.
