Chipping Away at Defects of Character - Page 26 - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Just for today, I will practice acceptance. Went to the doctors and for all the good it did, I could have phoned in my reply. Two papers I thought I had with me, I left at home. It would have been much easier to explain what was going on if I had made sure they were where I thought they were.

Not feeling good still, going to be closing up shop shortly and take myself back to my bed.

Just for today, I will trust myself to do what I need to do in today. I will listen to that still small voice and trust it instead of discounting. If I doubt myself, I am doubting my God.

MajestyJo · 11-10-2016, 04:56 PM

Just for today, I will go to my Higher Power for the Good Orderly Direction that I need in today. I will not run on self-will run riot. I don't believe on lucky. I believe in my God.

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance. I have to go to the eye doctor. I am hoping I don't have to get new glasses. If there is something wrong with the eye, I hope it can be corrected with laser surgery. Patience and tolerance with others, but mostly with myself.

Just for today, I am back on acceptance. I am powerless over people, places, and things. Back to basics is a good place to go when things come up that trouble you. I think they call it Step One. Having issues with my son and have to set some boundaries. He keeps walking over them and I get tired putting them back up and trying to keep them in place.

Just for today, I will let go of my resentments. I really don't like not being able to do what I use to do or what I think I should be able to do. I am a hard Task Master and tend to beat myself up. I will be kind to myself and give myself a break. I need to be my own best friend instead of my worst enemy.

Just for today, I am grateful for this site. It has been a big part of my recovery, without it, I don't think I would be sober.

MajestyJo · 11-14-2016, 05:56 PM

Just for today, I will be honest with myself. Where am I in my program? Is there something that I am not doing, that would help me and relieve my pain. It isn't about the other person, it is about me and my attitude.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I am grateful!!

Just for today, I will try to go with the flow. I need to get out of the way and allow my God to the space He needs to meet my needs.

Just for today, I am back trying to take care of myself. My blood pressure was high, which contributed to an all day headache. It isn't good when it is over 170, which makes me kind of question the medication I am on and will have me a wee talk to with the heart specialist on Monday. I made a point of making and eating a good meal. Have been running a fever, so not sure if I have the flu, a kind of infection, or something else that is disrupting my daily patterns. Just not feeling good, so trying to see what is wrong and the root cause. In today, I won't ignore things and expect them to go away.

Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.

MajestyJo · 11-18-2016, 11:35 PM

Just for today, I will look at things with gratitude. I was glad that I was lead to go downstairs and save the young woman's wallet. Before I went to the library and after I left the library, I ran into AA members. I am grateful that I got some laundry done. Evean more grateful that it is time for bed.

MajestyJo · 11-19-2016, 05:49 PM

Just for today, I wil practice being honest with myself. Not tell myself what I want to hear, but be truthful and look at what is going on in my life and look at it with honesty and live in reality and not through the rose coloured eyes of denial.

I need to look at the true picture portrayed and not fill in the blanks with our own illusions and perception. I will pray that my perception be healed.

Just for today, I will accept my senior moments and forgive myself for posting in the wrong section, although I guess a defect of character is a defect of character whether you are chipping it away or just talking and sharing it with your sponsor or another alcoholic/addict.
