Reflections

Hello WFS Friends!
I thought you would like to read one of the day passages from the WFS booklet, "Reflections for Growth" that WFS's Founder, Jean Kirkpatrick, wrote.  All women using our program in their recovery are encouraged and welcomed to submit their comments on this reflection for possible publication in the August 2015 issue ofSobering Thoughts newsletter...please send them to contact@womenforsobriety.orgby July 10th.  Thanks!

TOLERATION:

This week we will pursue our feelings about toleration.  Several years ago I had no concept whatever of "toleration", for I had none.

Why is it that alcoholics are so intolerant of others; yet, we ask others to tolerate us?
Today I am grateful for the changes in me.

July 7 CHP 119 v 130 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS


The unfolding of your words gives light , it gives understanding to the simple .
   (GODS BIG BOOK)


Step Four - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Simple- easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.

My self medicating ways  were used because I could not understand my life. What was the point of me being here and why had so many things gone wrong in my life. I spent a long time angry at everyone and everything because I had no understanding ! All I had to do for answers was read GODS BIG BOOK ! Instead I staggered through life guessing and that made me insecure and afraid .That fear fed worry and worry morphed into sadness and anger ! I lived in the dark shadows of my life for fifteen years and all I needed to do was  read GODS BIG BOOK and take the steps into the light.


Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
(GODS BIG BOOK) By Joseph Dickerson
