Just for Today: I will remember that my honest story is what I share the best. Today, that's enough.
Honest sharing does not come automatically to me. I must work at it lest it become more about drama than actually sharing.
I try to keep my comments brief, and structure them by starting off sharing my experience about the topic, then my strength with how some aspect of the program helps me, and finally my hope for the future.
Being brief and sharing within the context of experience, strength, and hope helps me to be honest.
Avid I USED to make sure what I said was funny and i never hoenstly shared either.
Today I share how this program is working in my life usually tell wahts going on and how this program effected the outcome or the middle of the out come LOL
The more i go to meetings ( daily) the more I hear similarities, the more i fit in to this crazy club lol the more I identify with others.
My new sponsor spoke in a meeting I liked what he shared #1 I can gauge peoples honesty and that is the first thing I picked up on, #2 he was sharing from his heart and the meaning was to help others, that was before I found out he was a crack head like me and also an alcoholic I didnt even know his drugs of choice before asking him to sponsor me.
Honesty was the first thing along with simply not using both were just as hard to work on for me
Yup like i said yesterday if I start out making sure its God centered and not self centered Im ok.We all want the ooh'sa and ahh's and the comic relief but sometimes thats not where were at.How i am handling the process and where Im at with it and what im doing about it usually lets me get all of my mess out .Sometimes when I got my same old story going on(co-dependence with son,mean spirited) I may think who wants to hear this again,but you know what I DO! and I need to hear it.Its what helps and thats what this is about for me......
