Slacking today

Step 5

Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Ever time I read these steps I come away with some thing new.    I have admitted a lot of times things that I have done wrong,   I am wondering how many others will say that.     I am never ashamed to say I am sorry if I have done wrong. 

 I will stand/sit right here and say I need to do this very thing with someone VERY SPECIAL to me.

This is the greatest strength of all--to be able to admit when we've done wrong and to ask forgiveness.

Louise, you are absolutely right.  I have no problem admitting my wrongdoings.  Just this year......I was told I had to work with a teacher that I did not like AT ALL.  We had worked together a couple of years ago and it just did not work.  We were both miserable.  It was really upsetting to us both that we were going to have to work together again.  Well, I was the first one to admit to her that I had harsh reservations about working with her again. She too, admitted the same thing to me.  God was truly with us both because we let all truth be knowm how we felt about working together in the past.  We both said it felt good being able to ADMIT how we truly felt.  From that day forward we have bonded and have become wonderful friends.  We think alike, we finish each others sentences. We say the same exact things at the same time all the time.  She is MUCH younger than I, exactly 16 years younger, but we get along wonderfully.  We attended a wedding of a co-worker in B'ham yesterday, and went out to dinner afterwards.  We sat there across from each other in a booth and I said, "Can you imagine, a year ago that we would be riding in the same car together and eating dinner out together?"  We just laughed and both said NO together.  We have lived through some of the same experiences with our husbands and we have a common ground and great friendship.  I  believe, being honest about our feelings that very first day has really been a treasured gift from God, that has budded into a wonderful and lasting friendship.
