My ego loves to judge and compare, especially people in this program. Anytime I sit in judgement of a fellow human being, like a sponsee's willingness or when I think someone in a meeting is sharing the mess rather than the message, my channel closes off. My ego will justify the judgement telling me my motives are good. But in truth my judgements are just a way to make myself feel better on some level. If I am really honest, the shortcomings that I so readily see and criticize in others are the very same ones that I haven't fully come to accept and heal in myself.
I'm trying to learn that God has a perfect plan for every one of us, and there is no way I can know what that plan is. The best I can do is to try to be the best example of sobriety I can and to love everyone in my life equally, unconditionally no matter what they do or don't do. Boy is that a difficult lesson!
