Remember Mindfulness – close eyes
Progress, not perfection
Active addiction leads to a form of soul sickness.
People become a poor imitation of the person they
once were. But on sobering up, they come to
themselves, as they come to their senses. The
addicted self is not the real self. To some extent we
are dual personalities who need to become whole
again. That means to regain our integrity. It will
require courage, honesty and realism but with the
help of our Higher Power, it can be done. Carl Jung
said in his letter to Bill W: Alcoholism is a spiritual
disease the basis of which is man’s yearning
for wholeness.
Am I ready to regain my true integrity?
Many of us sought for completeness and wholeness
in our addiction, but no addictive behaviour can
provide such a thing. We can only find meaning and
purpose in life through a belief in a Higher Power
and the knowledge that we are doing what is right.
Perfection is not required, only steady progress.
Today I ask that I will do my best in everything I
attempt and that every choice that I make today will
be the best for the recovery of others and of myself.
