Having issues on a new job, when I think/feel one side is overwhelming in the wrong; “not me” I start further and further away from the potential of seeing my part. Though might be very small, still there is a blind spot
I have been reticent to ask for what I really want and then take measures to achieve those goals, but no more.
I can’t think of any lies that I tell myself. Maybe I’m not looking deep enough. But I sincerely and thoughtfully to try to check myself on a regular basis to make sure. Especially when I’m making a decision that is counter to what my sponsor is telling me to do or that seems different than what I should be doing. I need to make sure my motivations are not concocted or I’m not bending the truth.
I’m too different from other alcoholics. Not drinking doesn’t bother me. I can handle it all on my own.
For me, I have learned the importance of learning more about all aspects of 12-Step programs: literature, meetings, sponsorship, service, traditions, slogans, and the awful, awful, phone list. I lie to myself when I take a phone list and then refuse to call when I need help. Maybe the fact that I have seldom had help in the past makes me forget that I can now reach out and get the help I need. Maybe that “False Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR)” is about the lies about myself that I believe.
