Thoughts that count!

I have been guilty, this week, of getting away from the things that make me who I am. 
Through prayer,  meditation, and running, (a doctor actually told me that my running was my meditation), I have been able to keep destructive emotions out of my mind, such as anger, jealousy, envy, and hatred to name just a few. 
I use to take powerful narcotic painkillers to give me in a peaceful state of mind however, at the same time, they were also destroying my body and my brain piece by piece, every single day until I almost died!
With everything going on around me I neglected to do the things that brought me that tranquility! It was the 12 steps which helped me to get reconnected with my Higher Power again and I have never been happier!  I need to remember each of those steps and live by them every day and I will be just fine!
I have to remember that when I am in control, I screw everything up but I can feel at ease noe having reliquished that control to my Higher Power! 
I am at peace wirth myself once again!
