"We gobble the words of others rather than digest our own thoughts and feelings, rather than cook up something of our own." Julia Cameron
I am a toddler running around deprived of a pacifier. Went to my morning meeting, decided to leave during the meeting after the meeting, sick of hearing the same crap. Sick of my own crap. Might take myself to see a movie today. Even if it is someone else's words.
What is good about today is that I can tolerate discomfort in the pursuit of something better.

Just keep "keeping on". Persistence, patience, practice, and prayer will eventually "pay off".

Ooooh that last sentence was perfect Carol! " I can tolerate discomfort in the pursuit of something better."
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! and those are your words!
You know, Carol, for some reason I too, am finding it easier--well, maybe more simple--to handle emotional pain.
ReplyDeleteActually I do not handle it, I substitute other stuff, going to meetings, finding a new guy to be with him as he helps himself, with GOD IN ATTENDANCE.
Carol, there are times when I feel discomfort and usually calling my sponsor, going to meetings and using all the tools available to me helps. Thank goodness it all passes and brighter days come.
