Recovering
Posted On: 09/29/2008 18:51:19

I have never noticed that word before RE-COVERING, like covering again.  We walk out of God's grace and He just covers us again. Just a thought.
I'm going to learn to pick the phone up and ring someone, or to email or to talk to them about things that matter.  Especially the phone because I make all sorts of excuses why I shouldn't ring.  I'm afraid I will ring at the wrong time and they will be busy and they won't want me to bother them but when people ring me I very rarely feel that way, I'm pleased to hear from them.
So when I get the urge to ring I am not listening to any excuses, I will ring anyway.  I did that on Sunday, I rang a relative newcomer (safe for me, he is gay) and although he couldn't talk right then he rang me back later and we had a short chat.  Then later I rang my sponsor, and I didn't let myself stop that because it was late either and we had a very useful chat about handing over defects of character and how that works.  And I sent a text message to another person from my group today.  And I sent an email to someone today too and a message on this site. So I am doing well.
I will learn not to isolate, I will learn to connect.

Well done...I still have a hard time picking up the 'phone to call someone...find it easier to write things...but I am slowly learning to reach out...one day at a time!

Love and Peace

Good job! so glad you are practicing reaching out - my sponsor used to suggest I call her and one other person every day - felt like a year , before it became second nature...I only balk once and a while now!

Alone I can't, together we can. Good philosophy...
