JFT June 24 Tolerance


 

 

"...ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

Tradition Twelve

=

Sometimes it's hard to accept others' character defects.  As we recover together, we not only listen to others talk in meetings, we also watch how they walk through their recovery.  The more we get to know other members, the more we become aware of how they live their lives.  We may form opinions about how they work their program.  We may find that certain members upset us, or we may even hear ourselves say, "If I worked their program, I would surely use."

We have found tolerance to be a principle that strengthens not only our own recovery but also our relationships with individuals who are a source of irritation to us.  It becomes easier to accept other members frailties when we remember that we ourselves rarely turn over our own character defects until we become painfully aware of them.

=

Just for today:  I will strive to accept others as they are.  I will try not to judge others.  I will focus on the principles of love and acceptance.

I  had a hard time not judging others until I had been judged myself . It and my sponsor made me work on changing my ways . I now accept others for what they are , we all have some faults. I now am focusing on love and acceptance.
