FEBRUARY 9 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Live and let live"
from A Day at a Time Reflections · host James H
The slogan "Live and Let Live" can be extremely helpful when we are having trouble tolerating other people's behavior. We know for certain that nobody's behavior-no matter how offensive, distasteful, or vicious-is worth the price of a relapse. Our own recovery is primary, and while we must be unafraid of walking away from people or situations that cause us discomfort, we must also make a special effort to try to understand other people-especially those who rub us the wrong way. Can I accept the fact that, in my recovery, it is more important to understand than to be understood? Today I Pray … When I run headlong into someone's unpleasant behavior, may I first try my best to understand. Then, if my abstinence from gambling seems threatened, may I have the courage to remove myself from the situation. Today I Will Remember … Live and let live.
