a little funny?
So excited. First ever participating in a craft show. I've put them together before as in organizing them for one agency or another but never made anything to put in one. I'm so excited to see if anything sells. I love this rush.
Excited about AA'ers and Alanoners coming for dinner tonite--if they all show it could be quite a crowd.
I am still feeling jealous of him getting all the attention for the possiblity of him getting sober or staying sober rather---I guess thats why its in our opening about trying our program if someone's drinking or someone's sobriety is bothering you---altho I doubt they quite meant it the way I am using it today. Keep praying for removal of this awful yucky feeling---and defect.

Here I go to work to do service
and hoping I don't get a little funny...

ooooooo DEFECT??? I don't think so. Sorry, I have to disagree with the choice of words, I think. This is a whole new percieved reversal of roles. I wouldn't classify it as a defect...a surprise in circumstances maybe, but not a character defect or flaw...not on your side of the equation. hmmmmm...nuf said. and breathe. Enjoy Today!!!
Love you!
I have heard many alcoholics say in their first 30 days of being sober they grew resentments cuz no one glorified them.
I have heard my sponsor confess she has been jealous of the newcomer. After processing her feelings on this she discovered it was cuz they got all the attention AND were still able to go out and get drunk, then come back where people would welcome with open arms. It is like getting the best of both worlds.
However, our minds will mislead us and forget the true pain of an active alcoholic.
Your heart is unselfish and I know you will discover how to let this go.
Have a great weekend and dinner 2nite.
