Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Testing the Fellowship
Early in recovery, we may find ourselves testing the fellowship to see how much others will respond to us. Out of fear, anxiety, loneliness, or frustration, we may act out. As wonderful as our fellowship is, it will take repeated assaults and excessive demands.
When fellowship members have had enough, they may object. We may feel hurt. If we overreact and reject the fellowship, we lose. So does the fellowship. We need to learn what issues we have along with addiction and how to deal with them. The fellowship needs the care and respect we’d give any relationship.
Am I treating the fellowship and myself well?
Higher Power, help me to understand my individual issues and to get help with them.
Today I will show respect for the fellowship by…
Hazelden Foundation
