Morning Gratitude and Throughout the Day

[MajestyJo]

Whenever I have pain or an excess of pain over and above the normal, I know it is emotional on top of the physical and that I need to surrender even more. It is time to take an inventory, not only at my recovery from alcohol and drugs, but my day to day living to see what I am doing wrong. i.e. overdoing, not getting exercise, not enough sleep, not eating properly, too long on the computer, etc. Also have to look at my emotions, to see where they are at. What haven't I let go of, what I haven't turned over, what I am in denial about, what I am trying to control and what do I need to let go of and surrender to my Higher Power.

Something I shared on another site in 2011

The pain is still there, it has never gone away, it is about learning to deal with it and work and think through it, with the help of my God and the wonderful people He has put in my path. I will be eternally grate for His Good Orderly Direction which has shown my how to deal with the pain and not have to go to the drugs I use to use and felt like I just had to have. I am sick don't you know! Poor, poor me, pour me another one.

So grateful for the program that saved my life.
