Today’s Reminder Many of us tend to react rather than act. When we hurt, we may want to strike out and hurt someone else. In Al-Anon we learn that we can interrupt this automatic response long enough to decide how we really want to behave. Someone else’s unkindness is no reason for me to lower my standards for my own behavior. When I take responsibility for my action, regardless of what other people do, I become someone I can be proud of. When I feel good about myself, it’s much easier not to take insults personally. “If one throws salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm unless thou has sore places” (Latin proverb) From Courage to Change
