DAILY REFLECTIONS for October 10th

FIXING ME, NOT YOU

If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are in the wrong also.
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Page 90

What a freedom I felt when this passage was pointed out to me! Suddenly I saw that I could do something about my anger, I could fix me, instead of trying to fix them. I believe that there are no exceptions to the axiom. When I am angry, my anger is always self-centered. I must keep reminding myself that I am human, that I am doing the best I can, even when that best is sometimes poor. So I ask God to remove my anger and truly set me free.
