My Only Job

My Only Job


My only job today is to have faith, to stay positive and put one foot in front of the other. When I slip into negativity, I head down a slippery slope. I make things important that I could just as easily release and allow to move past me. I obsess, argue with myself and convince myself that there is something wrong in my life that needs fixing, something wrong with my relationships that makes me dissatisfied with them or something wrong with me that I need to hide or run from. Just for today I am going to try to live the principles of the program in all of my affairs not just some of them. I am going to live one day at a time and surrender my resistance to change and my need to control, to my Higher Power. I am going to live a clean and wholesome life and I am going to love the life I have. I am grateful for the gift of one more day of recovery.
                      Life is a gift and I will not devalue it with negativity
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
