Just for today, let my impatience and spontaneous anger not command the words I speak in response for my words may give rise to another amend that I might have to make. But unlike physical injuries, emotional hurt from an unkind word spoken in recklessness or anger may not be as amendale. If today I explode in frustration from impatience or anger at whatever its source, may God grant me the wisdom to respond first with the discipline and tolerance that are contained within the 12 Steps. More than eating tomorrow the reckless words I speak today, no words can be taken back - and some can cause hurt for which an apology or amend cannot un-hurt. Today, discipline and patience partner with tolerance to guide my words. And our common journey continues. Just for today. - Chris M., 2012
