Reflection for the Day
In
our first weeks or months in the program, our shaky emotional condition
sometimes affects our feelings toward old friends and family. For many
of us, these relationships heal quickly in the initial stages of our
recovery. For others, a time of “touchiness” seems to persist; now that
we’re no longer drinking or using other substances, we have to sort out
our feelings about spouses, children, relatives, employers, fellow
workers, and even neighbors. Experience in the program over the years
has taught me that we should avoid making important decisions early in
our recovery—especially emotionally charged decisions about people. Am I becoming better equipped to relate
maturely to other people?
Today I Pray
May
my Higher Power help me through the edginess, the confusion of
refeeling and rethinking my relationships, the getting-it-all-together
stages of my recovery. May I not rush into new relationships or new
situations that demand an investment of my emotions—not yet.
Today I Will Remember
No entangling alliances too soon.
