practicin self-restraint in Step Ten has become one of the most revealin mirrors of my inner condition. it shows me where self still rules and where surrender has begun to take root. i used to believe that restraint meant holdin back desire, but ive come to see it as the quiet strength to align my will with spiritual truth rather than impulse. each time i pause before reactin, i glimpse the grace that patience can bring, a moment of clarity that reminds me i am no longer runnin on self-will alone. the deeper i travel into this discipline, the more i realize how much ive had to unlearn. my old ways of graspin for control or instant relief only bred more sufferin. today, restraint feels like a form of trust, trust that my HP will provide what i truly need in the time im meant to receive it. through this, i am not just fixin the damage of my past, but reshapin the person i am becomin: one capable of love, humility, and genuine peace. 1 day @ a time...
