The gang was back together (minus a beard) for an emotional episode. Daily Reflections was about curbing rashness. In active addiction, our reactions to situations are automatic. Automatic asshole was our default. We enter recovery and realize that those reactions were a product of the substance and we now have the choice to handle things differently. Words can cut deeper than a knife. We not attempting this recovery thing because things were so good when we were using. We come in broken individuals. We need help and mercy to refine us on our recovery journey. Find your people, know your herd. You'll be let down. You're going to let somebody down. Holding yourself accountable when you're wrong is the best way to ensure it doesn't happen again while growing as a person by admitting your mistake. You didn't get here on a winning streak so show others the grace you were shown when you required it.
