Remember Mindfulness – send positive thoughts
Mature relationships
This month we have looked at responsibility and
the need for awareness. In everyday life, the most
often-repeated challenges come through our
relationship with others. Relationships are often
difficult, but we can learn ways of dealing with
them. In recovery, we must be especially careful
because relationship problems can give rise to strong
emotions that we may still find hard to handle. Am I
working on my ability to handle relationships?
Steps Eight and Nine are when we put personal
responsibility into practice. Of course, it is
important to make amends to people we have
harmed – they deserve that respect. But, for us, this
is a moment when we really start to grow. A person
who has made a thorough and honest attempt at
Steps Eight and Nine cannot be said to be child
anymore, but rather, someone who can say:
When I became a man, I put away childish things.
St Paul, Corinthians.
Today I give thanks for the maturity that I am
gaining through the Twelve Step programme.
