i have a tendency to focus on the negative and want to wallow in my misery about what an awfully bad person i am. thank GOD there are steps 6 and 7 to help me separate my behavior from self and steps 8 and 9 to teach me how to forgivwe myself and others, otherwise i would never get past the past and never learn how to live in the here and now. the behaviors that have plagued me since the dawn of time will not disappear overnight and may never be gone, but if i let the process work, i can learn to tolerate and accept the fact that i am just a plain old ordinary human, with shortcomings as well assets. and there are tools for learning how to to make better decisions and choices in my life.
and today i choose to RECOVER.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
2) But I have three precious things which I prize and hold fast. The
first is gentleness; the second is economy; and the third is shrinking
from taking precedence of others.
