In the Doctor's Opinion in the Big Book of AA, as I was studying the Big Book again, the antidote for recovery from alcoholism is stated "...unless this person can experience an entire psychic change (also known as a "spiritual awakening") there is very little hope of his recovery."
In my opinion it is that change that has come from reaching the turning point in which I decided I had enough and became willing to go to any lengths to get it and approached the working of life in that manner which then started the evolution of the psychic change which lead to ultimately learning that my self-centeredness was at the center of my sickness and that it was about focusing on God's Will (or Good Orderly Direction) not mine and practicing the principles of a program for life in all my affairs.
All my affairs, not just some. That also means the way I use and abuse food and activity. It was a very simple thing (although not easily achieved), to change my system of beliefs, when it came to drinking, but now food. This means entire system of belief I have been living with and operating under all my life. Oh boy that's going to be a challenge. But a necessary one because I don't want to spend the rest of my life like this. I am finally sick and tired of being sick and tired of this weight thing.
I guess this blog/journal might help me along the way, we shall see. I read that a blog trains me to be observant in things in my life and gives weight to the personal growth that hopefully I am experiencing. It can be used train my mind to track thing happening life and articulate the changes I am experiencing. In becomes my record of my life that is saved “in the cloud” never to be lost, stolen, or destroyed in a fire.
Since I am still new to all this on a daily use, it will be difficult, but any lengths so we shall see. Part of the awaking we shall see.
