I did some work earlier today and saw that I reserve more energy than I should when it comes to believing.   I found that the positive and uplifting energy isn't there sometimes because I am feeling negative about what another is doing.  Asking God to remove the feeling that is preventing me from the clarity it requires to believe things will get much better and there is a solution has really helped.


I think overanalyzing has been a necessary but tedious enough process where I think from here on out I'll just keep it simple and ask that God remove negative feeling whenever they begin and trust that it will be done. 


What do you guys think about believing and how important is it in maintaining your recovery?

I don't know exactly but I have a really good relationship with my Higher Power. If I begin to feel a little disconnected, She makes sure She lets me know She is close by..... Sometimes I'll feel a touch, sometimes I will hear Her voice, sometimes I'll get buried with orders if business is slow. It helps to practice meditation on a regular basis which I highly recommend.

God Bless

I couldn’t do it without believing that my Higher Power is there with me, I believe that’s why I am sober today. bob has taught me to keep it simple, otherwise our heads get too full and gives that disease a vulnerable spot to get in and start to tempt us. Take care.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
