It is so easy to fall into self-pity. Everytime things don’t go the way I think they should, it becomes easy to become the victim. Quite a few of us come in with this feeling, and it takes us time to realize that the world and people are not resposible for my feelings. The Big Book describe’s so vividly to us about our selfish and self seeking way’s, and that we must come to see the manifestation of self in all. This now becomes my everyday mission, to witness how I can so easily make it someone else’s fault. This is the purpose of the 10th step for me, I have to see what I am doing as not to let me be victimized by my own self. The realization that I can change my thinking in the course of minutes, if I truly adhere to the steps and principles, has been a life saving vehicle for me. When I have those moments, and I do, I must remember to PRACTICE these principles in all my affairs, what a concept. You did it again, you made a 12 step call on me.
