RECOVERY MEDITATIONS
One Day at a Time
February 21, 2011
~ PROGRESS ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
" ... I was taught that the way of progress is neither swift nor
easy."
Marie Curie
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
I have always been the queen of quick fix, so if I wanted something to
happen, it had to happen today if not yesterday. So coming into the
program was very hard for me, in that for the first time I have had to
realise that recovery is not an overnight thing. For a perfectionist
like me, that has been a very hard lesson to learn, in that I don't
have to have perfect recovery. My journey in this program has been an
up and down one, with many slips along the way, and everytime I have
slipped, I have had to remember that I may think I'm a failure, but
I'm only a failure if I fail to pick myself up. In the past if I made
a mistake, I was a total and utter failure, but I know now that all I
have to do each time is to pick myself up, dust myself off and start
over.
The other thing I've learned in the program is that I also always need
to remember where I came from, and when I look back, I can see the
progress I have made. My self esteem is growing, and even though I
still seem to slip back into the old character defects from time to
time, they are nowhere near as bad as in the past. I am able to
forgive people whom I thought I would never be able to forgive, and I
make amends whenever the need arises, and as a result my relationships
with people have improved dramatically.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
May I remember that in this program, it is always progress and
perfection that counts.
