So we in recovery constantly
seek to renew this experience of putting down or releasing our opinions and
letting go of our old ways and ideas, always acutely aware that they are still
present, ever ready to pounce and re-enslave our lives in changes of ignorance
and disease - Page 100, The Zen of Recovery
This is the greater part
of the inventory process. And, it demands 'rigorous honesty'! Letting
go of things, ideas, behaviors, etc., that no longer serve my Higher Power,
another human being or myself is necessary. I need to take stock in what is of
service and what destroys. Any defects that stand in the way of my practicing
principles, such as kindness, generosity, honesty and humility, have to be
removed. Just for today, this may mean that I simply allow "what is" to be
there, without needing to control, fix or manipulate.
Higher
Power,
Thank you for bringing me closer to the Principles that are you!
Thank you for showing me a new way of thinking and living. Thank you for,
day-by-precious-day, restoring me to sanity.
