The progression of recovery is a continuous uphill journey.

The longer we stay clean, the steeper and narrower our path seems to become. But God doesnt give us more than we can handle. No matter how difficult the road becomes, no matter how narrow, how winding the turns, there is hope. That hope lies in our spiritual progression.
If we keep showing up at meetings and staying clean, life gets... well, different. The continual search for answers to lifes ups and downs can lead us to question all aspects of our lives. Life isnt always pleasant. This is when we must turn to our Higher Power with even more faith. Sometimes all we can do is hold on tight, believing that things will get better.
In time, our faith will produce understanding. We will begin to see the bigger picture of our lives. As our relationship with our Higher Power unfolds and deepens, acceptance becomes almost second-nature. No matter what happens as we walk through recovery, we rely on our faith in a loving Higher Power and continue onward.

Just for today: I accept that I dont have all the answers to lifes questions. Nonetheless, I will have faith in the God of my understanding and continue on the journey of recovery.
If there's one thing I know for sure it's that I don't know. I most certainly don't have all the answers since I don't even know the questions! One Day at a Time more is revealed layer upon layer precept upon precept. Challenges, constantly learning and growing are what Life and Recovery is all about. 32 years Clean enjoying the Journey.
