I finally reached a breaking point. The program of Alcohilics Anonymous says we are to give freely what was given to us. However, having 3 people in the same place at the same time ended up being too much. I felt too stretched. So I started peeling the layers. A necessary thing for me to do, for my sobriety. And I hated it. But, hating when the phone would ring because I had nothing left to offer, was draining me.
So as I stay sober I learn so much more about me. As I help others I continue to grow in effectivness and understanding. But for now it will be with less folks.
I am so grateful that today I can see my limitations and I am willing to say no. Without fear of recrimination from others that probably don't sponsor themselves. AND this isn't the end. It's a break and I'll continue when and if I am so prompted.
Later.
