what can i say about this reading. for me this is one of those 'doh' readings. it has not always been this way for me and since i seem to be in a now and then phase in both my writing and my sharing, i could write about how i lied to myself about what i could and had accomplished through my own force of will. i could repeat those areas where i falsely believed i actually had power. and i could go on at length about not needing anyone else's love, care or help.
this brief synopsis of my belief structure is more than enough for anyone to see that what i most needed was the loving care of GOD, the guiding hand of another member in recovery and the love and respect of my peers and family. and i have received all of that and more in abundance. and it is all because i accepted the belief i can't -- we can as part of myself.
