Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will practice acceptance. I will accept where other people come from and who they are. I was met by some attitude today, and then I smiled and thought, remember it takes one to know one, the difference is that I try not to go there in today.

I do not like condescention and holier-than-thou attitudes, and I have to remember the times I was on a pedistal and the number of times I fell off. I wasn't deserving to my mind to be there, so maybe it was my insecurities that made me act out and fall off. Today I know I am worthy of recovery and being myself is okay. Not sure that makes a lot of sense, just trying to put some of what I am feeling into words. I really felt hurt and I just had to accept the other person for where they are at. They are not in recovery and don't have a program.
