The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
today;s reading is about our joining alanon and finding the personal spiritual freedom to choose the HP of or own understanding. It suggests the because we are free to do this we can embrace a HP that we trust and can turn our life over to.
The reading suggests that as we practice program our understanding of God evolves and we find a unique purpose to our life journey We discover that we have a powerful guide deep within to guide us over life's many roads.
The quote from Albert Camus states: "In the midst of winter I finally learned that there was IN ME an invincible summer".
Thank you Betty for your wonderful examples of program ,12 steps,an being so supportive and believing in me when I'm not at times...thank you,can't express this enough.......hugs lu
Coming from an organized religion upbringing, recovery gave me cause to pause as I didn't want 'that' to be shoved at me again! I am so grateful others suggested I just keep an open mind and then repeatedly told me I get to decide what my HP is and how that relationship will be.
I am one who's evolved spiritually in my recovery and am grateful now for all my experiences, including my upbringing. What I believe now is vastly different than when I first arrived and I am grateful for an HP who loves me in spite of me!!!
Thanks for your service and the daily LU. Thank you and Betty both for your ESH. Been to a meeting, watching some basketball and planning an afternoon nap - life is good....cold here today - glad to be home where it's warm!! (((Hugs))) to all!
