So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
They arise out of ourselves, and our addiction is an extreme example of self
will run riot, so we usually don’t think so. Above everything, we addicts must
be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it will kill us!
For so many years my life revolves solely around myself. I
was consumed with self in all forms – self-centeredness, self-pity,
self-seeking, all of which stemmed from pride. Today I have been given the
gift, through the fellowship of Celebrate Recovery, of preaching the steps in
the principles in my daily life, of my group and sponsor, and the capacity – if
I so choose – to put my pride aside in all situations which arise in my life.
Until I could honestly look at myself and see that I was the
problem in many situations and react appropriately inside and out; until I
could discard my expectations and understand that my serenity was directly
proportional to them, I could not experience serenity and sound sobriety.
