I have written a few blog articles about it recently when I asked someone to be my Al-Anon sponsor. Having a sponsor is really important to our recovery. I know that and it means facing my own trust issues again. What I have learned is that when my trust issues are in my face, it is me that I don't trust. Just like with love (I can't really love another until I love myself first.), I can't trust anyone else until I learn to trust myself. The world and the people in it are always a mirror of some part of me. That includes the things that I like/love about myself as well as the things that I don't like/love about myself. Have a glorious day. As an incest survivor, trust has always been an issue of mine. I have written a few blog articles about it recently when I asked someone to be my Al-Anon sponsor.

You don't have to answer me right here. It is just something to think about for yourself. Anger turned inward can cause depression, cancer and various other ills.

A wonderful friend quoted pg 60 "no one among us has been able to maintain anything like..." and yet, somehow, by the grace of God, we continue to suit up and show up. I can feel the tension in your words, but I feel divine tension, the kind that brings amazing rhythms into play. Can't wait to see what He does with you next!

Yeah, I know things but it means a lot to me when people remind me. There is a lot I don't know. I guess being sick has brought some unresolved emotions to the surface. Thanks Sarah.

And boy do I understand that. And every time I get that disgusted with the world, God does seem to come through for me. But I bet you know that. I can tell you are frustrated.
