One Day at a Time
EXPERIENCE, STRENGTH AND HOPE
“Experience is not what happens to you.
Every day is filled with experiences. I can choose to let them pass me by,
or I can allow myself to learn lessons from them. It is easy to let the
day
pass by quickly and virtually unlived. If I refuse to stay in the present
moment
and choose rather to be filled with resentment, stuck in the past, filled
with fear, or stuck in the
future, life truly does pass me by. My experience truly has no value. But
if I choose to learn lessons, stay in the present moment, and remain
connected to my Higher Power, my day becomes experience, strength and
hope.
~ Carolyn H.
It is what you do with what happens to you.”
Aldous Huxley
Since coming to the program I have learned that I can share my experience,
strength and hope in so many ways. A call to or from an OA friend gives me
an opportunity to give and receive experience, strength and hope. I hear
experience, strength and hope shared daily as I attend meetings. People
share
not only what has happened to them, but the great lessons that they have
allowed their Higher Power to teach them. This is such an honor to be part
of, an
honor that I would not want to miss. I give and receive my experience,
strength and
hope on the loops where I share -- and receive shares -- on a daily basis.
I am blessed to be a part of strong loops with great recovery and sharing.
My
sponsors frequently share their experience, strength and hope with me. I
am
privileged to have two sponsors with quality recovery who are members of
The
Recovery Group. I am so grateful for their input in my life and recovery.
They have been such an important part of my life lessons. Every source of
experience, strength and hope in my life gives me more encouragement to
learn new lessons with every experience I have every day.
One day at a time...
I will find every opportunity to share my experience, strength and hope.
