BACK

I've realized that I don't have many original ideas since I embarked on my sober life. I started trying to absorb Step 11 by adding pages 86-88 from the BB into my morning devotionals. Kind of a pre-amble to what I would read in the "24 Hours" book and "Daily Reflections". I read repeatedly until the words and their ideals were starting to absorb into my consciousness. At a point most of my meetings would have something to do with 11Th step, prayer, or meditation. The BB studies I went to ironically were on these pages as well. (A God thing.) Then all my meetings started to have a thread of familiarity as any subject had a twist on how prayer and meditation applied in my life. Had I been struggling between God and self all along and just now realized how much? But throughout all of mankind this same principle appeared by many great souls before me. I felt linked in my quest, and reassured I was on the right path. The peace that my life has comes from turning my conscious contact into subconscious contact with God. The realization that every breath I take, and everyone I meet I recognize God. There is a natural phenomenon here in NC called Triple Falls. My 11Th step was like the falls, flowing and reaching a plateau and flowing more, pooling and then on to spill into something much larger.
