Addicts are reminded in recovery to never forget their past. Well, for some of us, we don’t need great memories, because our past is not so past. We still have these nagging habits and character defects, emotional binges, narrow-minded opinions and judgments. They never seem to get very far into the past. So what? These can be ways to bring us to humility and surrender. And it can show us that in some cases we are loved in spite of ourself. I sometimes think that if people really knew me they would hate me. Well, some people really do know me and they don’t hate me. And they have their own faults which gives me a chance to love them just as they are. What goes around comes around.

My mom will hug us each goodbye after we see her and says, I love you just the way you are. It's such a gift to know that, and its one we can return, as well as pass along. ❤️
