Today I thought about God as if he were present with me several times. I turned and thought to him as if he were a friend walking with me. This helped me to turn away from unhealthy thinking.

A couple of times I paused and thought of the idea of the image of the core of my will and having God's will come over that and supercede it. I prayed for God to "re-cover" my will.

Tonight as our meeting started I found this to be especially needed when I seemed to have a hard time leting go. I didn't have any conscious thoughts that I was holding on to but my feelings just didn't to re;ease the image of my will and allow God's will to come over that. Strange, but I stuck with the intention and eventually let go.

I found inspiration to start off the sharing portion of our meeting tonight after an awkward silence. I was grateful for thoughts to share and finished off relatig to the good thinking that comes with a spiritual awakening, especially inspiration. I thought maybe I should expand on this a little more.

Inspired Thinking
My imagination is fired like it was when I used to take a substance and have deep thoughts.
I get to experience release from care, boredom, or worry like I did when I drank or smoked or used.
I experience connection with my brothers like I did with the people at the bar back when it worked.

More to come...
