This is a page out of a book my therapist uses for our topics on our Monday night meetings. This was the excerpt for April, 29th.

By getting to know ourselves in sobriety and recovery, we get to define who we are. Meaning, we get to re-evaluate what we stand for, our moral character, our belief systems, what we will enjoy and what we won't tolerate any longer.

We also can stop judging others by no longer judging ourselves so harshly, or at all even. When we judge others we are finding in them something we do not like within.

This passage has many layers and I look forward to covering them with you in this weeks episode.

Getting to know Myself

Today I will cease looking for my face in the faces of other people.

If I want to know who I am, I will observe myself in action; I will watch the inner workings of my mind.

No one has better access to me than me. If I don't know who and what I'm about - I certainly can not expect anyone else to tell me.

When I seek to be defined by others, I live from pillar to post, from one person's idea of me to a job description to a title or role, to another person's idea of who I am.

I lose my center and seek to find it in people, places and things outside of myself.

Who I am is a changing thing. There is no, one of me to get to know, and finally, be done with it. I let myself change and grow.

I befriend my changing self

The more peculiar his own a man's character, the better it fits him.
