An EDA Member Works the Steps (Big Book 513)

Frankly, I try not to worry too much about my shortcomings or those of others; such concerns lead me right back to self-pity and resentment. Today, I have faith that if I take care of my own basic needs and do my level best every day to make myself cheerfully useful to family, friends, work, and community, I need not worry about my shortcomings. Today, I am in awe of how much my life has changed. Nothing miraculous has eliminated my fears and angers. I still experience them, but today I am convinced I have everything I need to live in peace and freedom. And, as I focus more on what we are all doing right, instead of belaboring what is wrong, the more correct and hopeful everything seems to be.
