If it’s easy, you’re doing it wrong -or not doing it at all!

Many people spend their entire lives trying to get around (Alcoholics) or, remove (financial success) the struggles of life -Jesus sought them out forthright! THE SECRET TO LIFE LIES IN THAT!

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL

For some people feelings are a curse -it’s a master-class learning how to bring about the feelings we yearn for!

What in the universe can feel? To feel is the most incredible gift from God!

If I want a specific area of my life to improve then I have to work specifically on that area. If I want a specific muscle or muscle group on my body to improve or grow or get stronger, I have to work specifically on that muscle group and perhaps even surrounding muscle groups. That llesson applies across-the-board!*

* We human beings can become masters of compensation, overcompensation, substitution…. A particular area we feel fearful of or spiritual love or slothful about…. We overcompensate or substitute in another area that we prefer, another area of our own choosing. THIS IS A MISTAKE! And I’m sure you can see why 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Being a doctor com a lawyer com a mechanic……………………… these are all useful things that you can contribute to your fellow human being outside of the job. You see somebody stranded on the side of the road and you have expertise expertise as a mechanic……. You’re in a conversation with some people and there’s suffering some symptoms and as a doctor you can… or somebody’s having legal issues and you can always…. Some people even have multiple vocations and are constantly assisting their fellow human beings in passing.

In our addiction, we secretly fought from the onset, and suffer the consequences down the road. In our recovery, we do as advised regardless of how it may make us feel in that moment, and then we reap the benefits later on down the road. At God’s discretion! When, how much…

Be careful what you wish for, you may find happiness. Ana Anna seems to be content with a mediocre lifestyle while she continues to fain the opportunity we once had together and shared many moments of happiness.

I remember when I was younger, having 2 experiences with dogs-one was with a neighbor’s German shepherd who I wrapped my arms around his neck and got bit by on my neck. The other 1 was with a huge huge doberman pincher that I got to play with for a few a few moments out in front of the house on 44 Partridge lane. You come along one afternoon well well my cousins were in school and it was just me how it’s me out in front… Very friendly. And well trained apparently. Anyways I would walk him up to the top of the hill and tell him to sit, and then I was walked down to the tree in front of our house and then I would call him, and scramble up the tree as quickly as I could.. We played this little game for some time period it was one of the few fond memories in my life at that time. And then there was king-fully grown Great Dane who walked aimlessly around the neighborhood. He lived over in an old the band and house several blocks away from where we lived on Bryce road in El Monte. I found a rope and tied it around his neck, and I would walk him around from time to time-to afraid to ask my dad if we could keep him of course. He used a brick as a pillow -that’s how tough king was. And that’s it for a little trip down memory lane for today. 🤷‍♂️

I probably screwed up more in recovery than I ever did in in my addiction and alcoholism!

When I 1st came into alcoholic’s anonymous, 2 thoughts were on my mind:

1. Not dying and I’ll call with death like my mother

2. Not being alone

As I began to become more familiar with the process of recovery a 3rd thing surfaced:

3. Becoming a better person. I realize now that all the struggle and difficulty that I didn’t want to endure in my recovery, similar in many ways to that of my early life growing up…. We’re all in preparation to bring me the above! As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for, you may just have to suffer, and do without in order to get there!

The 1st one I’ve gotten 1 day at a time period period the 2nd 1 I’m still working on.. The 3rd the 3rd 1 I haven’t gotten 1 day at a time.
