Just for Today: I want freedom from the turmoil of rebelliousness. We can't change the world by taking an inventory, but we can change the way we react to it. The inventory process allows us to uncover, evaluate, and alter our rebellious patterns. If left to themselves, these resentments can lead us away from our program of recovery. Sometimes we will find that, while we may usually go along with what is suggested to us rather than risk rejection, we secretly harbor resentments against authority. Regular inventory allows us to examine the patterns in our reactions to life and see if we are prone to chronic rebelliousness. We find that what others did to us was not as important as how we responded to the situations we found ourselves in. If we keep writing long enough, we can usually get past what others did and uncover our own part in our affairs. We can ask ourselves if our rebellion against people, places, and institutions is justified. Automatic rejection of authority seems to be a troubling character defect for many addicts.Ī thorough self-examination can show us how we react to the world around us. Our initial response to any type of direction is often negative. Many of us have lived our entire lives in revolt. " We need not lose faith when we become rebellious."
