Unacceptable
Posted On: 03/13/2009 11:57:12

Why do people sometimies hurt those they love the most? I've always wondered this... Always tried and usually succeded at not doing it myself. Yesterday I failed miserably in this department. This is where words are not enough, how do you right a wrong, when you can't even be there to make an amends? Sorry is a wonderful and handy word when you accidentally step on someones foot. It doesn't mean s**t when you hurt someone you love. So, I find myself at a loss, feeling unworthy, stupid, and heartless. I'd like to take a break from reality right now. But being an addict I can't, I'd be stuck in the breakroom and the only hing that would get me out would be finding another bottom. Sometimes the bottom is soooo deep there's no coming back. Guess I'll stay in the real world and ask my higher power to show me the path of redemption.

Yep.


This thought brings us to Step Ten, which suggests we continue to take personal inventory and continue to set right any new mistakes as we go along. We vigorously commenced this way of living as we cleaned up the past. We have entered the world of the Spirit. Our next function is to grow in understanding and effectiveness. This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime. Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our thoughts to someone we can help. Love and tolerance of others is our code. pG84,BIG BOOK

Bob -


    When I dig myself a hole, I usually use a backhoe. And yes, it has full long distance and internet capability, But I've also found that SS is right - by the time you've figured out that asking one's forgivness is as simple as that, they often just need the assurance from you. Love does that, you know...


YF,


Dennis

How to right a wrong from a distance? You could try writing the person a note expressing your regret. Maybe wait a couple of days though. It depends..


I know how you feel and how it can seem that 'sorry' sometimes doesn't go far enough and you just wish you could go back and undo what was done or unsay what was said.


There have been times in my life when I messed up once too often and was all out of sorries. Which usually led to further self-destruction and the cycle continuing..
But if as you say you have succeeded in the past at not hurting those you love then it sounds like this was a once-off mistake.
We all put our foot in it at times, we misunderstand something or the words come out all wrong.


I agree with what Angela said about forgiving yourself. Hope you feel better soon..

I'm sorry I missed this blog. I didn't know you were hurting. I hope you make amends and forgive yourself. You will be in my prayers.


Hugs,
