May 12, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

 

Step by Step
Wednesday, May 12, 2021

Today, impatience and spontaneous anger will not influence what I say because my words may require another amend down the road. Unlike physical injuries, emotional hurt from an unkind word spoken in recklessness or anger may not be as easily forgiven. If today I explode in frustration, 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 cannot un-hurt. Today, discipline and patience with tolerance and wisdom to guide my words. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2021
