![]() I celebrate my unity with all life. In childhood, my notion of family might have stretched no further than my relatives. At some point, I may have widened my concept of family to include friends and members of my spiritual community. I might also consider my neighbors and coworkers to be family, as well as any beloved pets or animals. As I mature in my understanding of All That Is, I see that I am one with all of life. I celebrate my unity with all living beings. All people have the spirit of God within them. If I have been excluding anyone from my circle of respect, honor, and care, I now open my heart to Spirit within and embrace them as family. So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.—Romans 12:5 Daily Word

Family is good and I had major regret as a result of not being a part of my nieces growing up. We didn't live near each other, but now that we are in the same city, I never see them except on holidays.
I couldn't get sober for my family. I couldn't stay sober if I allowed my family to interfere with my recovery program. I was an embarrassment to them. Even today, not sure that I have their trust, although one niece said, "Aunt Jo don't let my mother talk to you that way." I just couldn't take it all personal. As they say, "Take your QTIP with you every where you go. Quit Taking It Personal. I loved them, but didn't always like them. Even my son, who is in active addiction, tells me to go to a meeting. He doesn't want to see me to go back to where I came from.
