In my recovery learning process, I picked
up a word called humility. To be humble.
Humble myself. Not to be big, too proud,
boast, cocky, etc.
As a new person walking into a new job,
I came in with that attitude learned to treat
others the way Id want to be treated.
In my case, it didn't work. All the younger
generation in that work place, I thought,
felt intimidated by my kindness. And that
just rubbed them the wrong way. I was
emmediately ousted and felt emotionally
abused.
So, I thought maybe I should grow a pair,
even tho im a women, and fight back, or
stand my ground. Not even that worked.
I also learned in recovery that there are
people more sicker than others and even
tho I am nieve at many things in todays
world, I try to look past their imperfections,
not be judgemental or take their inventories.
Whose to say if those cocky people I
was to work with were not under the
influence of a drug making them behave
the way they were towards me.
I mean, even when I was drinking, no
one ever suspected I had a problem with
it. Anyway.....
I still say, treat others the way you'd
want to be treated and pray for those who
persecute you. Take care of whats more
important in your life today, which is
remaining sober or clean and living a
recovery life with happiness, healthiness
and honesty.
