Old Self
Let's learn to move beyond old habits and behaviors, especially those that resurface during challenging times. The author emphasizes viewing setbacks as opportunities for personal growth and highlights the importance of staying clean and sober as a foundation for self-improvement.
Hello All,
I was thinking the other day about getting past our old selves, or better yet, our old behaviors. Moving away from some of our old characteristics and habits may be easier than letting go of other defects, which may be more ingrained or buried deeper within us. I've noticed there are times when we can be emotionally injured, financially challenged, or just plain stressed out. At those moments, we may be squeezed, and our old selves or old behaviors can leak out unnoticed by us, though recognized by those closest to us.
What can we do? My suggestion is: instead of being upset about it, view it as an opportunity for continued growth within ourselves.
We are never going to be perfect, just a work in progress.
Remember, the work we must do—or want to do—on ourselves is difficult if we are not staying clean and sober. Getting clean and sober is just the beginning of the process.
