Not sure at this late hour that I am up to doing this credit.
It was an inward journey. The longest journey they say we will ever take, from the head to the heart.
It certainly wasn't done in a fast car in overdrive, although it was tried that way, and we had lots of pile ups, and a lot of "go back to jail or home or whatever else that came along the way.
I guess, if you don't go within, the biggest thing you miss is the good orderly direction, you get lost. You have no inner knowing. So you are travelling in doubt and fear. So if you are out you have no faith and hope, so you are walking blind and have no way of knowing where you are going.
If you go within, you have fellow travellers to walk with you and you are not alone. If you look without, you get many opinions, a lot of confusion and total bedlum, leading you to confusion and and disruptive paths.
When you go within, the Light will show you the way. You are no longer fumbling around in the darkness. You are guided, and you are gently shown the way to go. I was told there is no right way or wrong way, there is only the way that is right for you.

Like this, as they say in Al-Anon, "Let it begin with me." It isn't about the other person, it is about me and my recovery and how I react to life as it happens. For answers, I have to go to my Higher Power, and through Him, all things are possible. I have to go within to make that connection.

Looked out for 49 years of my life. That direction got me to the doors of recovery. Since I walked through those doors 28 years ago, I have made a point of looking within.

One day at a time, 29 years later, going within to connect to my God.
