Today, if I still hold onto emotions like resentment, anger, grief or bitterness and will not or cannot yet free myself from them, today I at least will not take on other feelings that I cannot handle. Recovery is partly about getting rid of the garbage and self-defeatism acquired before and during my drinking days; it is not about acquiring more of the same. In refusing to take on any more, I at least will have something less to work through and, in fact, might be able to take on one feeling at a time. Today, my recovery will focus on getting rid of what needs to be gone and not on collecting more of what I do not need. All I need to remember is to "Let Go and Let God," and not take back what I let go. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2021
