Aint life strange?
Posted On: 12/07/2008 02:05:23

So,I know its been a while since I have written anything and I really miss it.When I came here first I was looking for resources to "WORK THE STEPS".

What happened was the first part of living outside my own head.

I live in a really small town,where everybody knows (and talks) about everything that goes on.Who is a drunk/addict/cheater/liar/thief/ whatever.

So when I started to "WORK THE STEPS",I had to acknowledge my place in all of that and move on.And I have to realize that others do not move on at the same pace as I am trying to.People will talk and belittle and dismiss but I can still be a better person today than I was yesterday.

When I go inside myself(read self-will) things happen in an order that stops me from moving in a good orderly direction.

My step work has been helping me to not talk,belittle or dismiss other people as readily as I once did(or might still want to).

Peace,Donovan

     Small town - yep. Anonymity where I live is a lot like a cat trying to cover up a mess on a linoleum floor, so when I started I didn't even bother. Most that know and said anything are supportive. The rest  - their opinions are none of my business. Good to hear from you and that recovery is still part of your life...
YFIR,
Dennis

Great post- I have lived in a number of small towns and you truelly can find yourself in a fish bowl- I had to constantly remind myself about " Point a finger and there are three pointing back" and then  I got to where I simply used the phrase " Judge not" whenever I found myself projecting out onto others...  Nia
