Not in one go. as you will never retain all that you have been told. and thats it! It will feel funny till the very end of step 5. Untill then, just keep your life very simple, and don't go planning any major stuff!<BR/><BR/>This 'grass is greener on the other side' thinking has NOTHING to do with being an alcoholic and is just part of the human condition. You can never outgrow it, as such, you just become better at doing the 'next right thing' no matter HOW you are feeling or WHAT your head decides to tell you on any given day That's what will power and strength of character is really.. Yes I know it sounds like a contradiction, but it isn't. Yes we are powerless, but if we are in FIT SPIRITUAL CONDITION, we can choose to develop our will power along any lines we like. 'It is the proper use of the will' as it says in the book. So yes, we can improve our 'will power' muscle, in recovery.An Irish Friend of Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781376087404079818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27929015.post-61186780205558165792007-03-01T22:48:00.000-05:002007-03-01T22:48:00.000-05:00"Wherever I go, there I am -- totally out of place..."Wherever I go, there I am -- totally out of place and inadequate."<BR/><BR/>???<BR/><BR/>Ooooooh NO!!!<BR/><BR/>"Wherever I go, there I am -- a wonderful, beautiful child of God who loves me beyond my imagination!!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27929015.post-79088854895611815382007-03-01T18:57:00.000-05:002007-03-01T18:57:00.000-05:00Be still and let your uncommon sense catch up to y...Be still and let your uncommon sense catch up to you.Prayer gathers the attention.see yaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27929015.post-66008648771084496662007-03-01T18:06:00.000-05:002007-03-01T18:06:00.000-05:00...wherever I go ,there I am!....Wow that sure bro......wherever I go ,there I am!....<BR/>Wow that sure brought up some stuff for me! I remember having an arguement with my daughter once, I was being a total beeatch, so she said " I can't stand to be around you when you are like this" to which I replied "well how do you think I feel, at least YOU can walk away from me, wherever I go there I am!"<BR/>We both had a good LOL at that, but you know, today I enjoy being with me (mostly). Do you think maybe it's because you are coming up to a year? Sometimes those milestones trigger my 'shitty committe' *HUGS*lushgurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169403631552159238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27929015.post-9759873125747917202007-03-01T17:45:00.000-05:002007-03-01T17:45:00.000-05:00I won't post often, but you are right where you ne...I won't post often, but you are right where you need to be.After all we will love you until you can love yourself. and we do love you. alot, some more than others. this is just the normal process when tackeling this step.

The people here, really make me feel like the scum of the earth just because I'm an addict. I really felt that I'm unwanted and I wanna be all by myself.<BR/><BR/>But I really believed there are many good folks out there, who can accept me as I am. Like you my friend, and our recovery friends.ArahMan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/10800847777772543779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27929015.post-88645073733169761642007-03-01T05:18:00.000-05:002007-03-01T05:18:00.000-05:00It sounds to me like an esteem issue.
