Greed

 

"Not one who has little, but one who wishes more, is poor." - Seneca

In recovery, I still must deal with the compulsive side of my nature that always wants more. I must remember to be grateful for what I have. I try not to hold up a code of behavior I expect from others but not myself! I know I miss the fun of the moment when I am preoccupied with what I may be missing elsewhere. I know I miss the comfort of my own home as I fantasize about country mansions. Always I want more, yet in my own experience more has always been less. Today I focus on a spiritual program of gratitude. I have a checklist of things to be grateful for. I work on my greed by talking about it.

Thank You for the part of me that must remain poor.
