Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects – Steps Six and Seven – Quote 1

So I stop building walls, make decisions, and act as if I want to be happy, serene, and sane, and go on trying to carry the message of spiritual awakenings. I know now that the best way to stay away from removing my own shortcomings is to accentuate my good characteristics and be honest about what is really a human limitation, not a character defect. I keep uppermost in my mind and heart all of those things that keep me from God, which stems from pride, mental laziness, dishonesty, and procrastination. **My staying right size is in direct proportion to my gratitude for the life I have in recovery.** Thank God He is working on them now. If He wasn’t, I would not have written this.
