my daily reflections…

tolerance was somethin i never had; the one i was most less tolerant of, was me. i couldnt love myself as i should have and was angry at the things i did, or wouldnt, or couldnt, do. if it was impossible fer me to tolerate and love me, can you only imagine the tolerance and love fer others i had? NONE! livin this new way of life, i have learned how to tolerate myself so i could learn how to tolerate others. i have come to the understandin i have emotional trauma, so, why couldnt others suffer from it as well. gainin an understandin how these traumatic emotions had harmed me throughout my life, i found i could use what i was learnin through practicin the 12 spiritual principles, i could love myself and tolerate myself. this lead to bein able to share this understandin with others as well. acceptin how wrong i had been on so many levels required the assistance of the fellowship, my sponsor, and my HP. today my heart is filled with acceptance, understandin, tolerance, empathy, and love, coz i get to experience the emotionally, and behaviorally, healthy principles of this thing we do workin in my life. 1 day @ a time...
