Refreshingingly Honest
Every day I get an opportunity, to be honest with myself, HP, and other people.
Yesterday, in my favorite 12-Step Meeting, an all-women's Meeting, I remembered my distorted pattern of thinking with Pollyannaism brought to light by my first Sponsor. It was evident I had awoken from such "bright-sidedness" and dishonesty, as I shared how I couldn't accept that I was volunteering for pain, denial, and trauma and really not listening to someone in my life that I had declared to love. At this juncture, I can now hear the painful admission of that loved one and be powerless and sad, without having to lose myself. I can thank time, the program, my HP, and these precious women for showing up and providing a safe space for me to be vulnerable and HONEST.
