I finished my 4th and 5th steps this weekend. I also accomplished the 6th and 7th steps. Now to the amends list for 8 and 9, to face my regretments.
The stranglehold that my fears had on me, particularly with the military, have been amazingly removed and replaced with a resolute serenity to reconnect in the way I finish my service to this country. Is this for real? Or have I just hyped myself up somehow? I don’t think so. This does not feel like the manic-depressive roller coaster ride. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Something is doing for me what I could not do for myself.
I must invest this relief in the lives of others, or it will vanish from my own. I know this. I am grateful today.
By the way, on Sunday, I dropped off that resentment marble I spoke of in the previous entry.
