A God thing.  The first three steps were distilled and given to me as 1. Trust God  2. Clean House  3. Help Others.  The event where a man at where I work targeted me with his insanity, crossed my boundaries and made threats against our property has taken a different corner.  He came up to me unannounced this morning to apologize and explain himself.  In explaining himself he also explained me and all of the rest of us when we are off program.  He doesn't have one other than his own which as he describes isn't getting him even within vision of sanity.  Compassion, Empathy and ESH was all I had.   I have been using my HP daily as a surrogate problem solver as I fired my self on this one and HP handled it very well.  I got to relate to this man that "I understand" and then listen more.  He has stressors enough for everyone on the entire island and still had the idea that he was supposed to fix it all.  I shared just a little bit of what I've been taught and then stopped cause I cannot control or cure him or anyone else for that matter and then I left the relationship open for further discussion.   I made some suggestions ...lets see how that comes out.   God's got him now; again now.   Thanks for all the support.   ((((hugs))))  smile

Beautiful Jerry. I'm glad the situation came to a place where compassion and empathy were possible.

My thoughts is what you did with tools you had could make for a friend down the road. Good job on doing it the right way....I'm impressed.
