My thought for today is Complacency. It is defined as a state of self‑satisfaction that dulls awareness of real risks, problems, or needed growth. I stop seeking further spiritual development because I feel I have developed enough and it can be so subtle that I am not even aware that I have stopped doing the things that are necessary for me to maintain my sobriety and/or serenity. Reminding myself of things I have to be grateful for can often return me to the proper frame of mind. Humility is another way to overcome complacency. When I realize that I am not well enough yet to stop praying or going to meetings or talking with my sponsor.
