I've been using the Just For Today prayer a lot and it's helping to straighten out my mind and keep me sober. This is the part I find most challenging:

"I will criticise not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself."

My natural inclination is to be judgemental and critical and a bit controlling. They are traits I share with my mother a bit. I'm praying hard to change that aspect of my life but it's not always easy.

Of course, it's a whole lot easier if I'm sober. When I'm drunk or craving a drink even the desire to avoid being critical is not there.
