No matter how long we stay sober there are days and things that effect us on so many levels. These are the times that I must refer back to the basics and fundamental principles of the steps. I came in a very angry man, I was full of contempt of everything. The reading at the end of the spiritual experience was the first reading that caught my attention was the phrase mentioned “contempt prior to investigation” absolutely shocked me to the core. I knew and felt that it described me perfectly, I was closed to anything and everything except something that had to do with me.
Even though I live by the steps in my daily life there are moments of deep contempt, I just don’t like the world and people in it. I am so happy that I have tools to utilize on any given moment that can take me from contempt, to gratitude as soon as I work through those moments. I can’t express how freeing it is to know that there is a way to be free from the bondage anger.
