“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

- Mahatma Gandhi, All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections

When I am in my addiction I am weak. I cannot forgive myself nor the perceived injustices done to me. When I am in
recovery I find a new strength, and it comes from my willingness to forgive myself, and others.

A.A. wisdom boils the steps down into three parts. Trust God, Clean House, and Help Others. Forgiving is part of cleaning
house. It rids us of the the character defects that make us weak and keep us in our addiction.

Today, I will forgive myself so that I may better forgive others.
