codependence, contradependence, and interpersonal dependence.

Basicly,when I become a reacter rather than a responder,
When I think thru my emotions,
When everyone around me suddenly becomes an @sshole...
Then I know it has arrived...

For me, when I feel discontent, agitated, angry, annoyed, etc.... about EVERYTHING - or when everything out of my mouth is negative, insensitive and always about me...my disease is in full force. Often times, I need someone else to tell me when I'm acting out... because I can't see myself coming. Then it happens... God reminds me of my many blessings by sending someone into my life who REALLY has tragedy and loss in their life.... or he sends someone who is so positive that I am reminded of the power of optimism and love. Other times, I am forced to sit alone with my annoying self, reflecting on how horrible I have been to others and that it begins and ends with how I live my life. My program requires me to "do the right thing for the right reason ALL THE TIME, especially when no one is looking".:17:

When ever I find myself disturbed I have to remember the acceptance prayer in the Big Book. When I am cranked up it is still about me and my refusal to accept life on liefs terms. It sucks, but I do tell myself, this too shall pass.
