E is for ..
 

E is for Easy Does It. As we like to add, ...but do it. It helps us to not get overwhelmed and stressed. Like the other slogan says, "Feel the fear and do it anyway. That doesn't mean we have to be all gung-ho about things, we can take it easy and take our time. We didn't become addicted in one day, so easy does it.

E is for Each Day is a New Beginning. We are given a second chance at life. we can start each day with a new look and a new day is our awareness changes and we grow in The Fellowship of the spirit. I don't have to quit to everyone everywhere I just have to not use just for today and if I make that promise to myself into my garden to another like I stay clean and sober one day at a time

E is for Elephant. Elephant is memory. Hamilton asked us to respect the past and what has gone before. As we learn from the past we share our stories sbout our Journeys to get to where we are in today. One of the promises says we will not regret the past or shut the door on it.

E is for Eat

Eat at regular hours. It is all part of taking care of yourself in recovery.

E is for Effort

The Daily Reflection for 09/13 talks about amends. We have to make an effort to make honest amends. I like the way the writer put it:

"To make amends can be viewed two ways: first, that of repairing damage, for if I have damaged my neighbor's fence, I "make a mend," and that is a direct amend; the second way is by modifying my behavior, for if my actions have harmed someone, I make a daily effort to cause no further harm. I "mend my ways," and that is an indirect amend. Which is the best approach? The only right approach, provided that I am causing no further harm in so doing, is to do both. If harm is done, then I simply "mend my ways." To take action in this manner assures me of making honest amends."

E is for Easy

Easy does it, but do it!

E is for Enough. When are we going to say "enough" I can't do this anymore. It isn't just putting down the drugs, what ever drug we pick up,
It is when are we going to stop hurting and go onto the next step that is what my meditation card said, "When is enough, enough?". What is the. Next step. It appears as though it will be Step Four. I have a Bluprintts to Progress that I got for a sponsor. It will help with the emotions.

E is for Effort. We only get out of our recovery what we put into it all leads to a good day I would be a. All we are asked to do is try. Easy Does It...but do it.

E is for Eat

Eat at regular hours. It is all a part of taking care of yourself. You need to eat healthy meals on a regular basis so you don't get too hungry.

E is for Edit. Edit your recovery. What no longer serves you in today. Edit your thinking. Are you thinking recovery thoughts? My sponsor said, "If you have recovery, show it."
