Relationships In Recovery
So today is New Year’s! I’m grateful to be starting this year off clean & serene. Last night on New Year’s Eve we all went to the NA Dance. It was so much fun! Dancing and fellow shipping. I can’t dance for shit but that’s ok. This is the third year I’ve been to the NA New Years Dance.
Family Relationships
Today I have 79 days clean, I just finished going over step 2 with my sponsor and I’m about to start step 3. My life today is really good. I have some family relationship issues that I’m dealing with but that’s okay to feel those feelings and to be hurting. My sponsor told me that my higher power is protecting me from this relationship I’m not ready for right now. Even though I want it now. That’s my instant gratification kicking in. Relationships in recovery requires trust in my higher power.
So, I trust in my higher power and my sponsor and to have faith things will fall into place when the timing is right. The relationships I do have in my life today I’m very grateful for and the people in my life today genuinely care about me and love me. I video chat with my sister and niece everyday. We are building a relationship that we have never had before. My nephew texts me everyday.
Give Myself More Credit
The girl’s in the transitional house are great. Especially the owner of the house, she is an inspiration and sees something in me I don’t see in myself. My sponsor tells me I need to give myself more credit for everything I am doing and to keep doing the next right thing. I guess that’s a character defect of mine. I’m working on it one day at a time just trying to be a better person than I was yesterday. Trust your Struggle… The best is yet to come. I am an addict.
