Got up this AM with work to do that I had pending for 3 days by inventory. I had to finish the inventory with some self centered behavior I relapsed into days ago. It didn't feel fair, just and honest and most of that was due to letting it linger. My mind body and spirit kept me focused on the subject and I wasn't going to try and have it just gradually disappear. That process is too painful for me and my victim.
I checked with my victim to see if I was shading on the honestly I needed to have and then went ahead with the ammends.
I lost about 15 pounds of sick weight from inside my spirit and got grateful to my Higher Power and the gift of this program I have learned to work. I got to hear MLK's chant of "Free at last, Free at last...Thank God I'm free at last" which I have heard so often when the work is done right. (MLK's = Martin Luther King's). The sick inner feeling is about relapsing.
God how bad would I be feeling without having MIP and the program to wake up to. (((((hugs)))))

Thank you for the share Jerry....I love, love, love that our program and WE collectively can make it through every/any thing when we truly line ourselves with our recovery and our HP. I appreciate the visual of our program in action and the reminder that all is 'well'. (((Hugs))) brother!
