For me, this change is not just of thoughts, but of the way I look at myself. I still have to learn, I have to improve myself, and I have to move forward with humility.

Today I understand that having knowledge is important; but how we express that knowledge, how we treat the person in front of us, and how much respect we give them is equally important.

Only if this awareness stays alive in our minds will true respect and humility develop within us. Because if we forget where we have come from, arrogance can raise its head again.

listen to what they have to say, and not put on an air that we know everything about. Along with this, one thing should always be kept in mind even if we are teaching someone something today, at some point we too were standing at someone's door. We too needed someone's help, guidance, and support.

When we share whatever knowledge we have gained with others, there should be humility. Just because we know something doesn't mean we are superior to others. When sharing our knowledge, it is important to respect the person in front of us,

But since coming to AA, this picture has begun to change. My perspective on everything I have learned, experienced, and come to know so far has changed. I have developed an awareness of accepting truth as truth and reality as reality.

I would keep expressing my opinion. And if I did know something, there would be arrogance and pride in the way I spoke about it. If the person in front of me was younger than me, this attitude of mine would grow even more. I felt a sense of superiority in imposing my knowledge on others.

Blue shirt guy @redshirtguy.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Earlier, even if I didn't know something or didn't have a proper understanding of it, I would still poke my nose into it. I would try to show others that I had knowledge about it. I would give advice like do this, do that. In reality, even if I had nothing to do with the subject,

MY #AA #SHARING #RECOVERY #SOBERSKY When I was drinking, there was a huge difference between the person I was then and the person I am today. Especially since coming to AA, my thinking and behavior have begun to change.

Who would have thought on 10th June 1935 a meeting between these 2 men would change the course of history for alcoholics and addicts. Today millions are recovering a day at a time from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.

Repairing the damage, making amends. Kinda hard at the moment. Step nine is a lot of work. Glad theres 2 more weeks in the 9th month so I keep working on it. Daily Reflection #sobersky #addiction #recovery

forgiveness easier. And most importantly, when I see that both of us are spiritually sick from that perspective, forgiveness becomes almost effortless. Would appreciate your thoughts, if possible. #ESH #AA #DRBOB

When I take my own inventory, I look at myself with love, compassion, and kindness. I understand that mistakes can happen from my side too. Then I apply the same perspective to the other person mistakes can happen from their side as well, just maybe in a different form. Seeing this makes

3) Gratitude. Love. Compassion. Kindness. I am grateful to Alcoholics Anonymous and to every member who has shared their experience, strength, and hope. Your words, presence, and courage remind me that recovery is possible.

2) But instead of asking, “Why did they do that?” I asked, “What did I do?” Because that is something I can control. First, I learned to forgive myself. Then I learned to forgive others. Starting over. Living a new. It is not easy. But one day at a time, we can do it.

1) I know the pain when someone closes the door right in front of the face. I know the pain when someone sees me and crosses the road to avoid me. I know the emotional damage. I know the darkest nights. I know the loneliness. And while all of this was happening, I didn’t even realize it. #ESH

What happened with this app, @bsky.app? @support.bsky.team I logged out, and then I couldn’t log back in. Now I’m finally logged in again. Does updating the app cause it to log users out?

1) Reprieve "It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.

(7/11) humane: “Primarily a human being—afflicted with human nature.” That perspective matters because it changes how relapse is understood and how the returning alcoholic is received. Silkworth’s words encouraged understanding without minimizing danger, compassion without denying

(4/11) practical. Rather than treating relapse as proof that alcoholics were uniquely irrational or fundamentally different from everyone else, Silkworth compared it with what can happen to people managing other serious illnesses. As health returns and the immediate danger feels more distant,
