Closeness to God 9/20/03 - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

What difference does it make how I am treated by life? My real life is within.
Angela L. Wozniak

It is said that we teach people how to treat us. How we treat others invites similar treatment. Our response to the external conditions of our lives can be greatly altered by our perceptions of those conditions. And we have control of that perception. No experience has to demoralize us. Each situation can be appreciated for its long-term contribution to our growth as happy, secure women.

No outside circumstances will offer us full time and forever the security we all long for. And in like manner, none will adversely interfere with our well-being, except briefly and on occasion.

The program offers us the awareness that our security, happiness, and well-being reside within. The uplifting moments of our lives may enhance our security, but they can't guarantee that it will last. Only the relationship we have with ourselves and God within can promise the gift of security.

The ripples in my day are reminders to me to go within.

I believe in this. Although, I ask my HP for a healthy individual,yet I have come to believe that only my HP can truly love me perfectly. No man can. We want as women to have that perfect/fantasy relationship. At least, I know when I was a child it was as if they were going to sweep me away and we would live happily ever after. After, going through real life and surviving. I realize that all I need is a companion to live life with. Someone who believes in a partnership and has a foundation to back up his own recovery. Keeping it simple can be hard; yet its the best way to live life on life's terms.

Dolphin,

Living from within is truly an important aspect for developing a healthy attitude towards one's life, and the things that happen to us.

I try to see the forest instead of the individual trees, and know that it is up to me to interpret my life in a way that is most beneficial for me.
