Pancake Marathon:

What if I was able to keep running from my shadow, how far can I get when it is dark out; but the dark is just me covering my eyes. I see only have far I is going when I look back at why I am doing all of this, it is because I can and get to be part of the life of my life: maybe today I can do something that is better then I just did, for I know that the more I I'm able to manifest within my life, the better off I'll be because I know only freely giving what I have is what I get to keep; for it's as simple as when it comes back to me, Unity because I gave away in a common welfare mindset, I get to keep it this time yes absolutely with care because I get to keep it because I get to be part of my life because I open my eyes and seen that I am the light in the dark.

As I halt I am able to see that Cultivate an attitude of gratitude helps me to see that God doesn't make junk: for simply I am the gift that is to be given freely, upon/into/ and all around to those that are willing to keep me within the willingness to have my peace of mind (for that is the point of recovery: unity upon being able to freely give what I have.), as it's in the helping hand of god that I am able to see that the wisdom I had was fear: at moments of seeing that the state that I was in was killing me and those around me; for it was in that fear that I was fine at the time of me seeing me dead. Now I know that the fear I have to so keep pushing to be able to kiss, hug and know that I have the how to be able to q-tip, so when I keep to seeing that time is what is needed: in seeing that Feelings are not facts for it is as always Easy does it being able to see that First Things First is how I can keep on giving Hugs not Drugs or to say in another way, stay within my Stinking thinking; for Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace amid the storm as I have this god to tell that the storm is my past hurt and it’s been sent the message that it is smaller then you god.
That I have this faith in me and my life, to see that I have this family; and it is because of what I am getting back.

"Some of us first saw the effects of addiction on the people closest to us. We were very dependent on them to carry us through life. We felt angry, disappointed, and hurt when they found other interests, friends, and loved ones." Basic Text p. 7
Addiction affected every area of our lives. Just as we sought the drug that would make everything alright, so we sought people to fix us. We made impossible demands, driving away those who had anything of worth to offer us. Often, the only people left were those who were themselves too needy to be capable of denying our unrealistic expectations. It's no wonder that we were unable to establish and maintain healthy intimate relationships in our addiction.
Today, in recovery, we've stopped expecting drugs to fix us. If we still expect people to fix us, perhaps it's time to extend our recovery program to our relationships. We begin by admitting we have a problem-that we don't know the first thing about how to have healthy intimate relationships. We seek out members who've had similar problems and have found relief. We talk with them and listen to what they share about this aspect of their recovery. We apply the program to all our affairs, seeking the same kind of freedom in our relationships that we find throughout our recovery.
Just for today: Loving relationships are within my reach. Today, I will examine the effects of addiction on my relationships so that I can begin seeking recovery.

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 42
Step Four is the vigorous and painstaking effort to discover what the liabilities in each of us have been, and are. I want to find exactly how, when, and where my natural desires have warped me. I wish to look squarely at the unhappiness this has caused others and myself. By discovering what my emotional deformities are, I can move toward their correction. Without a willing and persistent effort to do this, there can be little sobriety or contentment for me.
To resolve ambivalent feelings, I need to feel a strong and helpful sense of myself. Such an awareness doesn't happen overnight, and no one's self-awareness is permanent. Everyone has the capacity for growth, and for self-awareness, through an honest encounter with reality.
When I don't avoid issues but meet them directly, always trying to resolve them, they become fewer and fewer.
