~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME

02/01 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
The longer I'm in The Program, the more clearly I see why it's important for me to understand WHY I do what I do, and say what I say.  In the process, I'm coming to realize what kind of person I really am.  I see now, for example, that it's far easier to be honest with other people than with myself.  I'm learning, also, that we're all hampered by our need to justify our actions and words.  HAVE I TAKEN AN INVENTORY OF MYSELF AS SUGGESTED IN THE TWELVE STEPS?  HAVE I ADMITTED MY FAULTS TO MYSELF, TO GOD, AND TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING?

TODAY I PRAY
May I not be stalled in my recovery process by the enormity of The Program's Fourth Stp,  taking a moral inventory of myself, or by admitting these shortcomings to myself, to God and to another human being.  May I know that honesty to myself about myself is all-important.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I cannot mend if I bend the truth.

Man it's amazing how thing**** home like this. I was just going over this step with my husband yesterday. I was telling him I knew my former "friend" was an addiction for me, and asked his forgiveness for my horrible moods while I was in that relationship. I know that "..if a relationship has to be secret, you shouldn't be IN it..." and parts of this one were. Now that's out and I feel better. Still depressed, but I see my PCP today and I'll see what he can do to help me out of that.

Thanks for posting this sweetie! :) Hope you're doing as fabulous as you look!! :)

Hugs,
Marie

I'm doing good Marie.. so glad that you were able to bring all that was once dark out into the open.  It makes it much more easier to deal with the truth when we can see it.. huh?

try not to be depressed.. you are loved greatly, altho perhaps the PCP can shine some more light on that for you.

hugsss
