January 27- daily reflections

JANUARY 27 

FREEDOM FROM GUILT 

Where other people were concerned, we had to drop the word "blame" from our speech and thought. 

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 47 

When I become willing to accept my own powerlessness, I begin to realize that blaming myself for all the trouble in my life can be an ego trip back into hopelessness. 

Me- I do understand what she means about the ego trip. But I and no one else am to blame for many harms I caused. My shortcomings are massive. Whenever I hear the words character defects I cringe. There are many things I love about myself, but I'm embarking on radical change in order to rid the world of my defects. I cause trouble. And I want to become more Godly.
