Little by little, I've learned to deal with my feelings better over time.<br /><br />Thankfully, God has helped me persevere through tough relationships as well. The good times are more than worth it and today it's all real!Scott M.

You, Pammie, Anna, Steve, Dave, MrSponsorPants and so many of the bloggers... ya'll have become my AA saints (well you and my sponsors and some choice fellows in the program here and around the fellowship) even more saintly because you tell on yourselves, you're honest about your imperfections as you see them, (there's where the fear starts, if people begin to count on me and I fail or that small silent list of imperfections and secrets begin...) and you really do talk about depending on God and seeing that God is all powerful. Ya'll are there showing me that you continually walk through all of life's difficulties with dignity and love, always wanting to be better and though you don't feel your perfect, reflecting that knowledge that God is.<br /><br />I'm still awfully long winded at saying thanks, I really do love you!<br /><br />Thank you! Much love and many prayers of blessing and love being sent your way!Jess Mistress of Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766848582303523764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-58720134479081799142010-09-20T05:11:52.193-06:002010-09-20T05:11:52.193-06:00I copied down what you wrote about feelings...that...I copied down what you wrote about feelings...that was GREAT! <br /><br />In church yesterday, our minister talked about "faithfulness in small things", and I smiled, thinking, "Hey, Mary just blogged about that!".<br /><br />Good memorable posts.

Today, I am more likely to "plug through" because I have faith that everything will be ok. I draw most of my emotional security from this faith. It's been one of the best gifts of the program for me so far.mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700941649031924777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-10201368082024177072010-09-19T21:32:22.303-06:002010-09-19T21:32:22.303-06:00The way I feel often tricks me because I fall back...The way I feel often tricks me because I fall back on old feelings. If I believe in my Higher Power and that turning my life over to my HP will bring me peace and rid me of my crazy thoughts, then I not only feel better but I can live better.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
