Thought for Today

Group Foundergjm

I have lost much of my inferiority complex. I was always trying to escape from life. I did not want to face reality. I was full of self-pity. I was constantly sorry for myself. I tried to avoid all responsibilities. I did not feel that I would handle the responsibilities of my family or my work. Owing to my inferiority complex, I was eager to be free of all responsibilities. I wanted to drift; I wanted to be "on the beach." A.A. showed me how to get over my feeling of inferiority. It made me want to accept responsibility again. Have I lost my inferiority complex?

This was totally me. I don't believe I ever read this before but this was spot on. I heard at a meeting this morning " I finally found some reality in my thinking" from a a person that celebrated a year today and I thought yeah I sure can relate to that.

Yes!! this really struck home to me. I have made great strides with alot of help from a lot of good people.The realization of the truth of this statement, the beginning . The rest as I went along paying attention ,preferably to me and how a situation involves my sense of self-worth. And how I react to that.

Oh, G, yes... this was the reading for me this morning and I can relate so much to it!! I see how much better I have gotten in this area. I was a walking bundle of fear for many, many years.

Through working the steps and practicing the principles of AA, this has gotten so much better in my life. After all, I am not running the show these days, and that's a good thing!

Nice to see you!!! :-)
