next frontier
from Emotional Sobriety letter Bill W wrote
My basic flaw had always been dependence--almost absolute dependence--on people or circumstances to supply me with prestige, security, and the like. Failing to get these things according to my perfectionist dreams and specifications, I had fought for the. And when defeat came, so did my depression.
There wasn't the chance of making the outgoing love of St. Francis a workable and joyous way of life until these fatal a d almost absolute dependencies were cut away.
Plainly I could not avail myself of God's love until I was able to offer it back to him by loving others as he would have me.

Just had to pop back in and say this read was a wonderful gift to get on a Sunday morning. Thanks, girlfriend.
I know the dependence on people and circumstances. If things didn't go the way that I wanted I would be down. I still feel the fear but luckily have learned to give it up quickly and just let go.
Amen sista!
