Gaining Comfort With Myself, With Others And With God

I’ve long had a hard time looking people (aside from friends and the few I felt comfortable with) in the face. I guess it reflects a fundamental lack of ease I have had with myself, with God and with others. Working a 12 step program helps. It’s no longer primarily about me, but about all of us in recovery. High-achievers don’t ask for respect, they simply drop anyone who doesn’t accord it to them. I’m no longer fighting with anyone or anything. I got some good recovery tonight. I have no time for anyone lost in addiction and unwilling to work to get well. A lot of people are toxic and I keep them far away from me, but if you’re willing to work a complete and fearless moral inventory (Google the great fourth step guides online), you’re my brother.
