The roadblocks to recovery

February 3 - GA enables us to discover two roadblocks that keep us from seeing the value and comfort of the spiritual approach:  self-justification and self-righteousness.  The first grimly assures me that I'm always right.  The second mistakenly comforts me with the delusion that I'm better than other people - "holier than thou."

Just for today, will I pause abruptly while rationalizing and ask myself why I am doing this, and whether my self-justification is really honest?

Today I Pray - May I overcome the need to be "always right" and know that cleansing feeling of release that comes with admitting, openly, a mistake.  May I be wary of setting myself up as an example of self-control and fortitude, and give credit where it is due - to a Higher Power.

Today I Will Remember - To err is human, but I need to admit it.
