Things I'm learning


That "self-help" really is not what recovery is about.

I can never know another person's motivations. It's hard enough sometimes knowing my own.

That my ego would be happy to be left alone in a room to seethe, and I can either seethe with it or let it go.

Some days I'm really critical and I can't shake it. Sometimes I have to just wait it out.

"I am not a puzzle to be solved.  I must let go of this illusion -- this distraction -- that I am a puzzle to be worked on -- that I have to figure out how to arrange all the pieces to make them fit.  That is not my job.  That is God's job.  My job is to just keep showing up for it." -from Mr. Sponsorpants
