my daily reflections…

here again somethin my sponsor taught me early on. he told me self-pity, shame, guilt, remorse, and morbid reflection, was somethin which would surely sink my ship if i let it continue. he told me sharin these times with other alcoholics, or just plain, shuttin up and listenin when these emotions were runnin my life, would not only help em, but help me too. he told me, listenin was a basic buildin block to learnin how to love myself and love others. he told me, this intensive work with other alcoholics would promote love without strings. gratitude, respect, happiness, and responsibility, all nurture love. soon after practicin these few things fer awhile i could feel the love pourin out of me towards others. leavin behind loneliness, i could then love, and be loved. 1 day @ a time...
