June 9: Relationships

Topic for the week:  Relationships

Hello beautiful sober woman!  After much soul searching, talking with my sponsor, prayer, inventory and seeking outside help, it is very clear that I struggle with relationships PERIOD.  One of my character defects is judgment and boy has this been rearing its ugly head.  I’m glad I’m aware of it today.  I know I can’t take it away, but I know God can.  I have spent way too much time and energy on overanalyzing what the heck is wrong with me?  Oh right, I’m human.  I try really hard to practice love and tolerance but I forget to be loving and tolerant of myself.   My sponsor reminded me this week that the steps are all about relationships:  Steps 1-3 relationship with God; Steps 4-7 relationship with self;  Steps 8-12 relationship with others.

So simple for this complicated alcoholic!  Lol

Thank you for allowing me to be of service,

Statia
