Chipping Away at Defects of Character

[MajestyJo]

Just for today, I will not preach my program. I will share my experience, strength, and hope, with the hope that it will help someone else. It is attraction rather than promotion. Hopefully someone will find something with me and my recovery, that will interest them to find recovery for themselves.

If I am so full of myself, I won't have any room for any one else. I don't have to have the last word, I don't have to say, "This is how it is done." It is not right to say to someone, "That is not how it is done, you need to do this," especially if what they are doing is keeping them clean and sober, with emphasis on the clean.

I need what will get me through the day, not abusing my medical medication, myself or others. I can't crave something if I don't injest it, and yet my mind can obsess about it and take me out of the moment, be it big or small. Thank God for the tools of recovery that bring us back to where we need to be in today.
