its not that i undervalue myself; rather, i find that i focus less on my own needs and desires. C.S. Lewis captured this idea perfectly, and it is a principle i strive to incorporate into my recovery journey. like many aspects of recovery, this is not a one-time effort but rather an ongoin practice that i must commit to, even after years of progress. without cultivatin a habit of humility, i realize that sustainable recovery is unattainable for me. as i have trained myself to prioritize the well-bein of others, seek guidance from my HP, and relinquish my self-will, i have noticed a significant reduction in my ego. my perspective has shifted; it is no longer solely about my own interests. the people in my life have taken on greater importance compared to the days when i was consumed by doin my dirt. the faith i have nurtured in my HP has fortified a bond that feels unbreakable. while i still experience the full range of human emotions and challenges, my approach has evolved from a mindset of “i need to get mine before you get yours" to one of mutual support and understandin. as i continue to practice humility, distancin myself from false pride and self-centeredness, i look forward to a healthier and more fulfillin recovery. 1 day @ a time…
