Week of October 30, 2022


Progress not perfection . . .

" . . . quick inventory is aimed at our daily ups and downs, especially those where people or new events throw us off balance and tempt us to make mistakes . . . we need self-restraint, honest analysis of what is involved, a willingness to admit when the fault is ours, and an equal willingness to forgive when the fault is elsewhere . . . We shall look for progress, not for perfection."

Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 91

Final Thought:

"It will become more and more evident as we go forward that it is pointless to become angry, or to get hurt by people who, like us, are suffering from the pains of growing up."
