Pushing does not help our program; it only causes more pressure within us. "If it doesn't work," we have thought, "get a bigger hammer." But if we only wait for the opportunity, we will be given the opportunity to work out each of our difficulties.
It is better to work out a problem by taking two steps forward and one step back, rather than to push and try to solve it at once, fail, and then stop trying. It helps to remember that we are never given more than we can handle, one day at a time.
Have I learned to take it easy?
Higher Power, I depend on you for my very breath. Help me realize that the more I depend on you, the more I accept your help, the more I can handle.

and thank you for this reminder. "Easy Does It" never fails.
And when we are in that backward motion of growth, that just comes with Growth, it never feels good, but we can Idenify what is going on, and apply that easy does it, all the time.
Recovery is quite a Process, and a slow steady Process. Could see all that unbelivably wonderful growth in you, lately, with all that incredible sharing that you have been doing, Giving back to the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
And that Pause can be also enjoyed in sheer happiness and quite with God. Just Re-Fueling is what I call it.
