Last night at our open AA meeting I apologized for my behavior 2 weeks ago to all that were sitting there in regards to my AH. I didn't feel that he got it even though I made it clear as mud. I felt that I was out of line outing him on some of the things he has done--not my place. I felt it necessary to share it w/ the group because I felt like crap after I did it. Now, I feel a sense of relief. Anyhow, I thought I would share my understanding of the 10th step.
I hope I don't hurt my MIP friend but I found out yesterday that she won't be attending our annual Gratitude Banquet due to the need to spend time as a family instead & I totally get it but I was looking forward to spending time w/ her at this event because sometimes w/ the crowds I feel disconnected & insecure. She helps me stay reassured. Anyhow, I don't always get my way. She needs to spend time w/ her family I know. I just wish the bingo party would have been another night. Oh well...I still love her. I am not mad. I hope if she reads this she does not think that I am trying to put a guilt trip on her or anything!
