Letting go of faults

When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them.  - Confucius

I did not deliberately choose my faults, but neither do I have to be afraid of letting them go.  I can establish what they are (I have many more faults than I am aware of) by taking steps four and five, and I can abandon them in steps six and seven.  What would any thinking person give for such simple, direct therapy.  And it doesn't cost a dime.

Do my faults include any of these:  sloth, bad temper, promiscuity, rudeness, dishonesty, child abuse, violence?  God, who loves me and want me to be free, will accept them all.

For today:  I need not be afraid to admit anything to God and to another person, under God's guidance.

Today feels hard.  I am struggling with my current state of health and I know I have to just accept what is.  God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  So for today, I have been to the doctor and undergone painful treatment that does seem to help, long-term.  I have done a bit of service to my Intergroup.  I have reached out to my fellows.  I extended kindness to a friend.  And for things I cannot control, I made plans to ease the transition if and when I have to take control and make decisions.  Living my program as best I can.

Blessed be.
