HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Do the same to the third section of the Serenity Prayer.
"And wisdom to know the difference."
Sometimes (in my recovery) there is a time to shut up and listen and then other times it's OK to speak. How do I know what to do when? It comes from prayer and meditation, working the steps with my sponsor, abstinence, attending meetings, listening, asking for help and trusting the process.
Wisdom to know the difference did not happen overnight for me. It came from doing the work. The A.A. Big Book mentions the "intuitive thought." I had this but didn't trust it. This is because I had to do all of the work first. I had to get abstinent and work the steps before I could understand it was my Higher Power talking to me.
When I finally started working a spiritual program and actually felt Gods love inside of me - that's when I was able to love myself. After this happened, I listened to the intuitive thought and trusted.
I heard and I believed.
