Day 660 Clean and Sober

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I started reading this new book, "The Excellent Wife," and I really like it and it had this verse in it.  It really made me think.  Sometimes I get so worried about what my husband or other people in general are doing wrong, I don't notice my sin.  I see the little things, and nit-pick at other people, and don't realize all the things I truly struggle with in my life.  I mean I know they are there, but pretty much ignore them I guess.  I think this could also go for helping myself.  I need to help myself and take care of my personal issues before I can help other people with theirs.  That's why the 12 steps are in the order the are.  I need to go through all the steps and take care of my problems before I can help anyone else. Makes sense I guess.  Can't see anything with a log in my eye.  :)  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!
