Just as I go to church (A healthy one) to
worship and honor the Lord, and be around
people who have the same Higher Power as I
do. Just as I go there to fellowship and be
able to freely talk and share what Jesus has
done for me, you know, give away what He has
freely given me. Just as I must do that for
my spiritual well being and to know my
Higher Power better. Well it's the same with
the meetings for me. I go to show my
gratitude for the founders and the
old-timers. To be there for the New-comer
just as I am in church to be there for the
guy or gal who is there for the first time.
I go to meetings to give away my E,S and Hope. To carry the message and to learn, learn, learn. I no longer go to meetings to get clean because I am clean. I go to meetings to be of service to my fellow addicts and as a result I get to stay clean. And to (at times) get some things out on the table when I am going through some pain that is tearing my heart apart. I don't go into great detail (I do that with my sponsor) but I do let my home group know how I am feeling. That's accountability. Just as Church, is not the solution, neither are meetings. The steps are called steps because they lead to something. They are elements which make up a solution which leads to God who in the end is the answer. Application and Implementation This week I will be mindful of all the elements of my recovery. The Steps, the Traditions, the Books, The newcomers, old-timers, prayer, meditation, my sponsor, and accountability I will make the choice to follow through with the application these elements. Having done all I can to apply this solution, I will implement the answer, Trusting God and then I will know serenity. Until next week’s Meditorial, this is The Monty’man wishing… Serenity for You!
