Your Own Best Thinking Got You Here

What does that mean to you?

This is one of those slogans that I have tried to just let roll off my back... And I even inventoried about it... and, yeah, I have some defects of character in the pride department ...

I never once thought my best thinking, even while I was "active", got me here... I knew I was addicted, I knew I was breaking some rules, I knew there was all sorts of justification and rationalization goin' on... again, even at the time.... while I was active..... I never once thought my thinking was "my best"

I see it as a long the lines of .... take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth... now, that one, also edgy, doesn't bother me at all.... because, I guess, at many times in early recovery, and even now ... it's true.
