steps again....day 5
It really helps to go through the steps again...I am seeing so much I missed. Ahhh....the blame game. I blamed everyone else for causing my sin. I even blamed God...HE had turned HIS back on me and caused my life to be hard and I had this mean husband and a son with deep problems and no money ....poor me. I need to be happy so here I go!!!! Well, THAT did not work.
Yes, the devil is the source of the problem but I chose to sin. I know right from wrong and I chose what was wrong. I am responsible for every outcome that was negative during that time and WOW there was a lot of negative. My problem was reaching out to someone to fill the void of love and happiness in my life outside of my marriage. and I am so very selfish for doing that. God is the ONLY true love and the ONLY way to be happy. I have an addiction...to a person, to a feeling, and the only way to keep from using is to focus on Christ my Savior. As long as I keep my eyes on HIM...I am strong.
I pray that I will continue to get closer to my Savior and that I will feel loved in HIM and in my home.

Ahh , the good ole "broken index finger" syndrome huh ?
I remember telling my sponsor once , "I don't get it sponse , it seems like every time I point my finger at somebody , they get better !! " and my sponsor , without missing a beat said "Wow vahn that's great news , now lets see if that'll work on you !!"
Well it did . Finding where the problem lies we already solved half of it , now all we got left is try to figure out what to do with the other half .
Psst , here's a secret ... get rid of it .
Luv ya
In Christ , our Lord
