Sharing and Caring

[MajestyJo]

"Whom you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here" is a lesson not only in maintaining anonymity but also in avoiding gossip.

"Gossip never enriched anyone's character: It was only an excuse to avoid focusing on myself:' Courage to Change, p. 300

Have been the brunt of a lot of gossip. It has made me look at myself and take my own inventory and take responsibility for myself, and leave the rest. I was told that for ever finger I point at someone, I have three coming back at me.

So if they speak about me, I always pray that the spirit of my program goes before me and those that know me and those that really care, will know I walk my truth to the best of my ability.

If I find myself judging others, then I really need to dig deep. It takes one to know one, whether it is good or bad. It is a very negative thing, yet I can change it into a positive for my recovery.
