Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted to it.

This is about setting right any new mistakes as we go along.  This invites us into taking adult responsibility.  Additionally, we keep on processing emotional stamps so that our system does not get clogged up with “toxic emotion”.

What is the point in cleaning up the past as its  a vigorously intense process that takes courage and commitment if we then to do not continue to maintain this spiritual well-being. This is the step of really seeing that you have entered the world of the spirit.  To grow in understanding and effectiveness takes maintaining.

This is the step where you see that what you have learned has no stop gap and “its done”.  We are not done animals because of our level of emotional complexity, consciousness, imagination and attachment desires.  This is why its a commitment that is about evolving all through our lifetime.

If we continue to watch for resentment, fear, dishonesty , selfishness and greed we can catch ourselves in old “stuff” old”script” instead of the new which can be highly preventative in relapse.  When anything crops up that sounds like part of the old story we can ask for spiritual help, reach out to others, share, discuss, process and then let go.  This system keeps us well, connected, happy and taking responsibility.  We even have the opportunity to eventually find joy in making amends.

There is something spiritual and hearty when living with the principles of love and tolerance.  The fight stops and sanity returns and the way of living is a healthy framework to feed from rather than dysfunctional self soothing by using.  The using was because life was lacking in heart and meaning and we were spiritually unwell.

If at all tempted to go back to old ways give the self a reality check and know that you have the option to recoil from this and see it as the poisonous trap it was.  We can work with this by staying with the action programme and allowing it to help us stay on the right “script path” were we are feeding our soul good food.

The programme and maintaining a principled life means being safe and in a position of neutrality where we are protected.  This is what is meant my maintaining and enjoying the process.  Its important not to see it as a chore.

I use the analogy of a “dog is not just for Christmas”- look after it with welcoming , love and nurture and enjoy the attachment.  The same is of spiritual wellness, its not just about clean time but about truth, love, heart, compassion and nurture. LOOK AFTER YOUR SPIRITUAL WELLNESS ITS PRECIOUS.
