I’m reading through what I’ve written so far for my Fourth Step and laughing because that is definitely not how that works. Fuck. I have lots of good notes, but I need to pause, talk to my sponsor, and redo this. My writing has taken me down a rabbit hole, and I need some more direction. I don’t mind that I got off task; the time spent has not been wasted, and I’m still excited to finish this step.
Not long ago, I would have been frustrated and upset with myself. I would have given up and made excuses for why it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t finish. Now I’m committed to my emotional and spiritual growth and strength. I’m committed to my recovery, my program, and myself. I’m not in a hurry to finish the steps as long as I continue to make progress, not lose motivation, or become stagnant.
The ability to laugh at myself is good for the soul. It keeps me grounded and humble.
