”Even in you fall on your face, you’re
still moving forward.”

Humility
is the virtue of knowing that we can and will make mistakes. It’s admitting
we are not perfect. Being humble does not mean we are not worthy of love,
respect or caring. It simply means that we have much to learn.
The
thing about learning is that we do not know all the answers. It means we can
say or do the wrong thing. The importance is that we keep learning from what
we have done wrong, make adjustments, and move forward. When we fall, we need
to stand up, brush ourselves off and keep going. It’s important to remember
that even if falling, we’ve moved on from where we were just standing.
We
need to remain open and teachable. Some of that means being willing to set
aside our preconceptions and accepting new ideas and ways of thinking. We can
admit that we need to listen and profit from the experience and knowledge of
others if we want to change and grow.

Affirmation
I am
open to learning, prepared to make mistakes and willing to make
discoveries.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
Book Sales
My first print run of 100 copies sold out, but I have had a second printing of an additional 250 copies done this year. So more are available, now at a cost of $20 CAD. My second book, Twelve Steps for Everyday Living, is now available for purchase for $15 CAD. It is my attempt, based on my experience and those who've been a part of my recovery journey, to transform the 12 Steps into a tool for anyone to use to navigate the challenges and trials of life.
In Serenity,

Review it? Do you have a copy and enjoy what you have read? Can you help me promote it by leaving a good review at Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939460-lean-on-me)? Thanks for your support.
In other news, after a long debate and some peer pressure, I have started a second blog, along the same vein as Lean on Me, but in my second language. You can check it out here - Tomber dans l'appui.
