Nobody's Perfect
The Twelve Step program states that recovery is progress rather than perfection. Some insist on achieving perfection. Because they consider themselves inadequate, they fear failure and try to be perfect. Life consists of successes and failures, and all one can hope for is that our successes outnumber our failures. Insisting on perfection always backfires. In trying to cover every detail that might possibly go wrong, we exhaust ourselves, and the job doesn't get done. If we get to know our real selves, we will not have feelings of inadequacy. We will be able to adjust to reality by enjoying our successes and surviving our failures.
