Then, each day, we continue taking our inventory to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.It's pretty simple. We treat others as we would like others to treat us. We promptly make amends when we owe them. And when we turn our lives over to the care of our Higher Power on a daily basis, we can start to avoid running on the self-will so characteristic of our active addiction. Guided by a Power that seeks the best for everyone, our relationships with others will surely improve.––––=––––Just for today:I will set my own house in order.
