It's so easy to sit back and take other
peoples inventory. Things I don't like
about them. Things that bother me
about them and so on.
Using the steps as a guideline to live
by in life and recovery helps me change
many of those old behaviors and
character defects and stop taking
other people's inventory.
I often remind myself that when
I see faults in others then more
than likely they are the same faults
I have in myself.
Like, when I point one finger at someone
else then there is 4 more pointing back at me.
Yikes.
Anyway, today I know what I need
to do to keep serenity in my life and
feel peace in my heart and not let
others ruffle my feathers. I can choose
where I go, with whom I want to be
around, people, places or things that
are in agreement with my sobriety
and recovery.
I never have to place myself in situations
that would have been a cause to make me
drink or add fuel to my addiction back in
the day. Today, my recovery foundation
I live upon is strong and solid because I
continue maintenance on it on a daily bases
making sure that people, places or things
wont be a cause to make cracks in it.
