Intern and judgments ..


I Need to share because also in that Judgment process I'm seeing how sick I am in that my thinking is used to the learned behavior of forming a line of people in my head and then judging "down the line .. I don't want to judge others and I love the unity .. Today I listen to what Everyone has to say with a very open mind and ear and yet the behaviors of others still flag my mind at times .. I can't stand it but I also can't control it and then I feel guilty as if i'm trying to hide something, but the guilt stems from not being able to control the Effects of alcoholism in me. I need to type it outloud so to speak and turn it over to higher power .. this is where he heals me .. what I love about this program though is All humiliation is turned into learning when we're humble (willing to be teachable) and the Fear in me that is Very present in this moment is a Signal there is something for me to learn .. I always think First that there is something for me to learn about others when in truth there is something to learn about Me .. !!!

Good morning fellow shippers ? I'm starting an Intern this morning and am nervous. Of course my confidence isn't all that because I put it off for a year and am just now returning. It wasn't waisted time, however, I am feeling the effects of my procrastination in that I've forgotten many things through the year. They will come back but it isn't the most self esteeming feeling to begin confused in secret .. As if others won't notice .. hmm

I've been thinking of this though in that anytime I've prayed for something or asked prealanon I would always pray for a spiritual awareness into someone Else .. as if that will do Me any good .. What have I been asking for that God will help me to figure out how to control someone else ?? The things I tell him I need ... insanity it is .. Well that piece I began doing this morning and then began asking him for guidance into Me through this Intern of 12 weeks.

It also, however, made me think of judgments .. In the past, prealanon, I remember the times I would have begun planning my conversations, etc.. and then assessing how they would turn out .. It's made me think of how insane i was before this program and still am which is why I will Forever keep coming .. But i began seeing how could I Ever have possibly thought I could map out or piece together Anything including conversations .. I may have had conversations with some for what 3-4 times and suddenly I (Think) I know what they would say or how they would act ?? I've always tried to mind read and because I was enmeshed with so many in my mind it was only Natural to (Think) others could read my mind .. why wouldn't they ?? They were Right here in it ..

Insanity .. anyway I just needed to voice my fears outloud this morning .. keeping them in the dark is what is Not of God .. The fact I have them is human nature .. My mind Always goes to the Negative (Disease thinking First) which is why I need to take a moment and get it out First ..

Thanks Again !!

Loved this share. Your clarity and awareness are palpable. Yes I agree I too tend to go to "Negative thinking first' Thanks for talking about being humble (teachable) and non judge mental. These are two of my biggest alanon big tools.

I too prayed to control others behavior and I loved that you did ask HP to guide you thru this internship.

He never abandons us

Keep us updated.

Great share. I was just telling my sponsor about how judgemental I am and need to accept people in their human condition. I haves hard time within myself too as if I could be any more than human. Great awareness! Sending you loveand
