Yesterday's Baggage

Recovery
#1

For the wise have always known that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what he finds, and until he patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong.
— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 88

I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along yesterday’s baggage too. I must balance today’s books, if I am to have a chance tomorrow. So I ask myself if I have erred and how I can avoid repeating that particular behavior. Did I hurt anyone, did I help anyone, and why? Some of today is bound to spill over into tomorrow, but most of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.

I'm amazed by how much you can move forward. How do you learn to let go. I need that, I need to know how to do that. So glad you are still here to share your words of wisdom.

To be honest it all comes down to my faith and trust in God, as I understand him, knowing that I'm secure in my salvation and know without a shadow of a doubt that when the time comes for me to leave life I will be his roommate forever.......
