my daily reflections…

my sponsor spoke to me in the exact manner this mornins readin speaks of when we 1st met. he was honest with me yet did not put himself on a pedestal. he relayed to me how the steps worked in his life, and how he worked em in his life, to change his behavioral patterns. i was in such a raw state when i came in, if he had done it in any other way, i would have shut down just as i had done prior when speakin with other people who were tryin to help me. i use this method he taught me when i go out to speak with other alcoholics also. the method he used on me worked fer me. takin the time to be lovin, compassionate, and listenin are things i needed at the time. so, while i am tryin to carry the message i do the same. 1 day @ a time…
