have to like some behavior one of my peers may exhibit, but that does not mean we reject each other as human beings. i have to say, that no matter how much of a douche-bag asshole i was when i first got clean, no one ever told me to stop coming around, and trust me, i certainly qualified for getting kicked out. as i mature in my recovery and find the ways and means to see my peers as humans, as flawed as i am, do i move into loving the addict, regardless of how they act. that does not mean i welcome them into my home, or give them everything they may think they need, enabling them to continue doing whatever the hell they want to.
living a life of active recovery leads me into all sorts of situations where i am unsure what to do, especially with my peers with whom i may have had issues with in the past. the demagogues, the thieves, the liars and the members of the supreme recovery paradigm. i have to remember that more than once, even once i came to recovery, i fell into each and every one of those categories, sometimes more than one. coming to live in unconditional love, is easier on a daily basis, although oi will never be perfect at living in that state of grace. anyhow i got places to go and things to get accomplished, so i will put this to bed and allow myself the freedom to not have to rush willy-nilly through the rest of my morning.
