My sobriety has to be based in work. I have heard many throughout the years say “I did my steps X years ago.” That’s something that has always baffled, and confused me. For the life of me I don’t understand, I know for me working the steps is a daily affair and on a minute to minute deal. Everyday I am confronted with situations that I have to realize that I don’t have any power over, specially when it is people oriented in work or on a personal basis and I must honestly try to remove judgements and fear. I also need to mind myself and be open minded when it comes to thinking and opinions, and without faith I am lost in myself. Having the courage to know what my flaws are, and how they distract and effect my relationships with all things. Learning to have the integrity to reveal those things to another person, and having the willingness to try to have those defects removed by continuously seaching for the humility to become more amenable to productive change of character. I must attempt to search through my past and correct the harm and damage by taking my heart in hand and not asking to be forgive but sharing the facts that I am have become aware of my actions, and show amendment though the refelection of my actions at that moment, and in the future. I have to be vigilant in my daily life, being mindful of my effect on others and myself, by the continued searching for the spiritual entity with in my heart and mind to adjust each moment on this path. All of these things are reflected on how I reachout to the world and try to become of service to those who pass me each day, with joy and genuinely treat them with respect and care. These are goals to strive for in practice of living on life of sober consciousness.
