a daily medatation book

[hippy]

a daily medatation book is agreat tool in the begining of recovery as well always.
i have mentioned it before, na has a daily reading book, it is callede just for today, today medatation is on making ammends
by the way ammends is somthing  that can waiy  don't rush into
making amends, most new people think they need to do a fourth step and an 8 step make amends, .
step one is always the place to start, acceptance of the truth
i am an addict , i have used aginst my will, ,i have hurt people i love
aginst my will , meaning that is not what i wanted to do.

anyway back to  a daily medatation book my fav is ( each day is a new beginning ) it always seemed that that little book was right on time, inspireing me just when i need it., when ever i thought i was done with staying clean ,i would read  a medatation that would help me get back on track, it was like a miricle.
hazelden sells them as well as barnes and noble. they are in the misnamed self help area of the book stores.

if it is not practical it is not spirtual.!

humilty means being who we are and not who we think we are.!

it is not what we used that makes us an addict but why we used.!

unconditional love is allowing others to make mistakes
and still accept them and provide encouragement. !

a mature conscience is aware of it's motives

peace!!!!!!!!! and good day

Quite a literary post, sir!  Those are things I don't miss--counting, stealing, hiding, lying,over and over again.  How did we accomplish anything w/ such preoccupation?  Hope you're sailing smoothly today.Peaz

..ok i'll bite.."If i were a percodan where would i hide?"
....i'd lay dormant at the bottom of a suit jacket pocket, in a closet, next to the other suit jacket pocket, full of them...waiting for the clammy fingers to take hold of me for our usual first-ride of the day
....i'd nestle into virtually every pill bottle that calls medicine cabinet home..
....or i'd hang in the coin-tray or ash-tray in a car..again waiting impatiently
....i'd cluster in a desk drawer at work, or go all out for optimum security in a briefcase
....i'd be in overcoats, sweat-tops or any garment that has an orifice representing a 'resting' spot..only temporary of course
....i'd precariously hang from the top of kitchen cabinets, hoping not to contact too many angry dust particles...again waiting
....i'd be wedged between pages of a non-favorite book or under a can of Chunky Soup(yukky flavors please)
....i'd split to pieces after my usual acid swim, with my toxic byproducts remaining safely in a large sponge-like filter
....i'd disseminate throughout this vast network and attach to any willing and able receptor(GI tract included, i dont care)
....i'd play hide and seek on those cool pleasure centers...never staying too long
....i'd make it real hard to find these pleasure centers, as it gets confusing with all the tracks from previous visits
....what a bonus, id get to consume not only body, but soul as well, while hiding in this large skin-covered shell
....you see, if you look hard enough, you can find me...anyone interested

Lovingly, Perc O dan
