Is a loved one walking through a difficult time?

[bluidkiti]

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words. (NLT) Job 2:13

Is a loved one walking through a difficult time? We try so hard to say the right thing to comfort. We desperately want to say words that will take all of the pain away. Sometimes, our words aren't enough and, perhaps, our words rub the wrong way. Mostly, the greatest comfort you can give is like that of Job's three friends. No one said a word but they sat with him. Is there a friend in your life who could use your presence today?

So many people think that they aren't an alcoholic, so they don't think they qualify for the program. The 12 Steps are applicable to all areas of my life, that includes my family and friends.

I need to take my program and take it out of the rooms of recovery and apply it to all areas of my life. When I am there for myself, I can be there for others. Recovery begins with me and then it asks me to give it away and pass it forward.
