The Daily Reflection deals with patience. I have not always
been a very patient person. When I was a young lad up until I was 18 I was very
impatient. I was and still am generation x. Immediate gratification has been
part of my thought process since I as far back as I can remember. It’s one of
the reasons I was a hard liquor drinker. I wanted the buzz quick fast in a
hurry. Alcoholism wrecked my patience. It basically reinforced my need for
immediate gratification in all aspects so that I would seem irritable often.
The irritability carried over to my home life and for that I am ever regretful.
However, now that I am sober I am finding my patience is returning and that my
post acute withdraw is lessening by the day. I attribute this to fully
engulfing myself in my recovery. I go to meetings daily, talk to my sponsor and other
alcoholics with a lot of sobriety. I am fully committed to this design for
living and it is paying off.
