practicin self-restraint is somethin i always have to do; my self-will wants to flourish all the time. i started to practice this type of self-monitorin with the 1st step, by becomin honest about my situation and honest about me. it was hard at 1st because i couldnt believe i had been whooped, that i had lost. as i progressed through the steps, practicin self-restraint started to get a lil easier. i was able to recognize when i was startin to get that itch to show my ass. as i mentioned, i still have to be aware of the things i say and do. i need to be happy with the progress i have made in my life. it doesnt mean i cant remember terrible things i have done or still may, it just means that i dont have to beat myself up over em anymore and run and hide from em. i can look at myself with genuine sincerity and realize i still have things i need to work on and be happy that i have a means to do just that. emotional growth allows fer spiritual growth. learnin when to hold off fer a split second has shown me who i can be, and who i want to be. 1 day @ a time...
