This seems to be a constant lesson in my life. They say that EGO is (E)dging (G)od (O)ut.
Whether you believe in higher power or not, it doesn't matter. Another word for higher power can be Love. So EGO could be perceived as choosing fear over love, or self-importance over humility.
I believe that the only free will we truly have is to choose to connect with recovery or not. If we choose to connect with recovery, life turns upside down at first, but starts to smooth out. If we don't choose to connect with recovery, we experience our own personal version of "Hell on Earth." in our addictions.
One of the ways I have experienced my own personal "Hell on Earth" in the past was not being able to admit when I was in the wrong. My prideful EGO used to just hang on to being right at any cost. On the surface I couldn't stand the thought of being wrong, it was "ME" after all. You know what I'm talking about, that voice in your head that thinks it's all-important. We all have one; I'm just being courageous or silly enough to admit I have one. But thankfully, that voice is MUCH dimmer now.Related articles
