We will want the good that is in us all, even in the worst of us, to flower and to grow. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 10
With the self-discipline and insight gained from practicing Step Ten, I begin to know the gratifications of sobriety -- not as mere abstinence from alcohol, but as recovery in every department of my life. I renew hope, regenerate faith, and regain the dignity of self-respect. I discover the word "and" in the phrase "and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it." Reassured that I am no longer always wrong, I learn to accept myself as I am, with a new sense of the miracles of sobriety and serenity.
hey ((doll)) thanks for the step 10 reminder....i call it my "daily report card" oh i remember the days when i thought i was ALWAYS right or when i first decided to face life sober, i was ALWAYS wrong.....now the pendulum is in the middle *when* i am wrong/ promtly admitting it and when i am not wrong, not *sucking up* if i am not wrong....like shaeksphere said "be true to thine self" and that basically to me is what step 10 is all about........thanks, hope you are doing ok, hugs/ rosie
