no, it's not easy to follow the directions you have given me
yes my ego and pride are hurt
but I know my family are sick people with no tools
like me they get sick sometimes and I know this isn't a determination of who I am!
help me respond the way you would want me to when they email me today to make sure I haven't killed myself because of being rejected from Christmas.
help me respond the right way even though my pride says, "I ain't gonna let them off the hook or give them relief from their guilt."
help me get to the Alkathon or Alanonathon today and let others know they're not alone
my heart feels light but believe me I didn't wake up that way.
I woke up and followed directions.
Lit a candle, wrote out two resentments, read Daily reflections, Courage to Change (told me what to do today!) and Hope For Today. One of my books always has what I need That's why I read 4 or 5!
But that isn't enough...I have to pray and do Steps 10 & 11, and then later 12.
I asked God to remove my ego today And give me whatever Power I need to carry out His will for me and my sick and suffering family.
