I greet The Indwelling Operating System.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Computer Operating System. I hate to admit I still overreact to “termites” with a little drama. I bought a new computer. I had it built with my older operating system. The newer operating system did not allow some of my old software to work. However, I still had to learn some new programs, and I made a number of mistaken. It reminded me of my joining A.A. February 6, 1957. My personal “reality” operating system crashed; this alcoholic way of dealing with life stopped working. I hit my bottom in every area; To me, all of them seem to be major problems. My human operating system was beyond upgrading. My equipment; my body and world crashed. None of my old programs worked. A.A. gave me a whole new operating system, which included the Spiritual, mental, emotional and social software, and fostered the repairs and upgrades to my body, mind and world. Alcoholic Anonymous has so many levels and depths that we can spend a lifetime learning how to use and share. I use to hate change and having to learn new software, (a new way-of-life). My first reaction to change is resistance, which does not last long anymore; all I have to do is remind myself, it always has a good purpose. Today, I love change, and my love is changing. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
