Post The butterfly effect

Selfish living disappears after, take an inventory of ourselves. My defective character caused me to always be thinking of my selfish needs and desires.
Somewhere in recovery, we discover, how our actions play into other people's lives.

It's not only us, that are impacted by our drinking, we take hostages with us. Our broken promises not showing up at family holidays, showing up in a drunken state. Spending our paychecks on drinking when, the money was needed to pay bills. Or worse yet, having family and friends, not wanting us to show up to ruin a gathering.

I was at my family Thanksgiving dinner today. I looked around at all the family members present. The direct result of 2 people meeting falling in love and creating a family some 64 years ago. The butterfly effect, the actions of two people long ago created a family gathering of 75 people to be in the same place at the same time.

Much of the past few days readings have mentioned slips.

It's so important to realize, we create a butterfly effect in a lot of our actions.

May your butterfly effect you cause today, be one of positive reactions for tomorrow
