Step by Step #essentialsofrec #Humility #Compassion

 Today, I will remember with humility and extend compassion, understanding and empathy to the recovering co-addict whose current circumstances might once have been mine. If someone confides that he is faced with something or a set of circumstances that put him in a place of uncertainty, fear, helplessness, hopelessness and desperation, I will remember that I, too, was once in the same dark place and I needed more than well-intended but superficial assurances. Instead, I will remember that I entrusted all with unconditional faith to my Higher Power and, while clinging onto sobriety even an hour at a time, He saw me through. Today, I will not minimize the fears and uncertainties of another person who might be venturing into unknown waters and, instead, will respect them with unconditional love and support. He may be my most important 12th Step. And our common journey continues.
