Well, I'm working on a 4th Step inventory again. This time with an Alanon sponsor. Just this morning I read in Daily Reflections, p.135, "The real tests of the situation are your willingness to confide and your full confidence in the one with whom you share your first accurate self-survey...Provided you hold back nothing, your sense of relief will mount from minute to minute. The dammed-up emotions of years break-out of their confinement, and miraculously vanish as soon as they are exposed. As the pain subsides, a healing tranquility takes its place.---12 & 12, p.61-62" Yep. Although I did an inventory on my life story before, this time feels different. This sponsor seems available, engaged, willing to get down and busy to get it done thoroughly. Kewl. She's young, vibrant, interested in doing the work with me instead of saying to go get it done all on my own. I've already done a lot on my own, it works to a certain degree. Still need others to help. Yeah!
Definitely my part is to stay connected with her, pick up the phone, avoid isolating...and do the work...set pen to paper, write it down, get it out of my head, put it all in black and white, act accountable.
Dear Sweet Lord GOD Creator, thank YOU for the wonder and magic of each moment of Life as it unfolds. Thank YOU for the privilege of being able to participate in YOUR Master Plan. Lord, please help me be of maximum service to YOU and my brothers and sisters. Love, Carol xoxox
