Told myself, "If God forgives, why can't I?" It didn't always work, and God and I had to work on it daily, especially if I thought someone should no better, and they continue to do. That is what the Big Book says, "...constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves." means. For me, a lot is knowing the words, saying them in rote, and not able to live them.
To forgive, I had to accept. Not only them as they are, but myself as to where I am in today and take the focus off them and bring it back to me and my recovery.
