I will say this...I am happiest when I am being of service to my Higher Power and stretching to give a hand up instead of a hand-out to another suffering human being. Alanon in this arena of operations is significantly powerful because it lights the pathway of recovery so I can stay on track and not fall into the abyss...if I work the program.
Today I go see my doctor because something abnormal showed up on blood labwork taken last week. Jeesh. I fear having to hear whatever it is and what will it mean but a part of recovery is accepting the responsibility of self-care. I so admire people who seem to be smooth, compliant, not a bump in the road in taking care of themselves. Whereas I struggle to submit to this simple process and just do the next right thing. I'm grateful there are others available to reach across the great divide...I'm not alone. Anyway, even though Cecilia and her husband, Carey, are on their road trip, she calls and encourages me by sharing her experience, strength and hope. I love to hear her stories of adventure while traveling around the country. She says there are meetings aplenty and I guess it's true about the Fellowships, "There are no strangers amongst us, merely friends we haven't met yet." There's no reason to stay alone, isolated, socially withdrawn. These are some of the symptoms of the spiritual malady we can suffer with if we stop going to meetings and stop being with like-minded folk.
Well, just for today, may I do GOD's will and be of service...it's not enough for me to talk, think or blog about it. I must do the work. GOD-willing and the creek don't rise...I'm on my adventure.
