todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that my sponsees teach me so much. A discussion from yesterday included ...
"This thought brings us to Step Ten, which suggests we continue to take personal inventory and continue to set right any new mistakes as we go along. We vigorously commenced this way of living as we cleaned up the past. We have entered the world of the Spirit. Our next function is to grow in understanding and effectiveness. This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime. Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th edition, page 84
I rarely ask God (or my HP) to remove them. At this point in my recovery, I have become aware when these crop up, but I deal with them and just move on. More work for me.
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

Thank God it isn't an overnight matter.
My prayer is to to do God's will and to be aware of what blocks me from doing that. I need to go the next step and ask for those things that block me to be removed. Thanks for this reminder.
