Today I am loyal,when looking back in the past I was disloyal as well as dishonest(when drinking) I was self centered,and the world revolved around me,today that is no longer true.

Loyalty to me means standing up for a person or group. it means being faithful to them or your duties surrounding it. it means sacrificing sometimes willingly, not grumbling on behalf of the person or group.it means not letting others put them down. Not gossiping about them. Always promoting instead of putting down.
I am loyal to my jobs. I love teaching where I teach, in spite of much lower salaries than across town. If I wasn't loyal I woudl ahve stuck around for 35 years. I count count the times my family and freinds tried to talk me into applying in the public system where you actually get insutance and a decent retirement after 27 years. But i wantd to stay. I have 35 years. If i retired today I'd lose all insurance and take a 10,000 cut in pay. So i am happy that i love where I am. Looks like i am sticking around for a bit longer. LOL
I am loyal to EOR. Even when it chrashes , I jump back in and help it grow. I am loyal to my local home group. I show up0 every week unless totally out of my control. Ihave a service job with my group. I also am loyal to my WW job. I help out whenever I can with decorating, cleaning, organizing, filling in for others...and i do so willingly. Most of the time i dont get paid for things I do and that's OK.
I am loyal to my freinds and family. I will do anything for them that I possible can. I go out of my way to let them know I think they are special.
Loyalty is a good quality to have. I like to be around people I consider LOYAL so I try to be that way myself.
LIN

On the whole, I am loyal. My fibro often gets in the way of me always being there in body, and it may appear as though I am disloyal; yet in truth, many times if I went, I wouldn't be loyal to myself.
I try not to put things into mold, categories and limit a situation, because life just doesn't seem to happen that way. Life just happens and is and I am powerless over it; and when I beat myself up or sacrifice my values and well being to accomplish something, then I don't think I am working a good program.

Wow, Lin. You're a mighty busy, devoted person! That's always been something I've admired about you.
Okay....well, my loyalties are ultimately to the G-d of my understanding. It surely wasn't always that way. Used to be my loyalties were to MEMEME and ONLY mememe.
I've been placed in a position more than once to do things that are against the principles I embrace as my life--either by friends, employers or (admittedly) sometimes the circumstances I've simply placed myself in. It's an uncomfortable moment in time when I've had to look at my employer and let him know I've paused, prayed about it and simply won't do as he's asked--and I get to offer up options, within the principles I live, to be a different solution.
There's always that moment of uneasy silence, waiting for the 'crashing' of horns. On occasion I've gotten it. On occasion I've paid a price for refusing to 'comply'. The one thing I'm grateful for is that my loyalty to the spiritual principles is recognized as the driving force for what I am unwilling to do....even if there's a price to them. Not always popular, not always easy--still 'right living' nonetheless.
Today I'll get to let my employer know that I'm unwilling to do what was asked of me simply because it's 'wrong' for me. And I'll offer up an alternative solution, live with whatever price that comes and remember 'right' isn't necessarily popular or desired some moments. That doesn't change the fact that it's 'right'.
Yeehawwww....doesn't that sound like a fun way to spend your Thursday? LOL
Have a great one, folks!

Good Morning Mistyeve,
Loyal/disloyal
Me loyal to the people, places, and things which are a part of my life as many of you have already stated. But loyalty, for me is based on trust. When that trust has been shattered or erroded in some way, my loyalty waivers.
There have also been times when I have found that my devoted loyalty is underserving. That I remained loyal to a person, place, or idea just because. Because it was a habit, because it was something that I always did. Something that was ingrained in me for a long time. Say for example my idea of what God was. That is one of the marvels of this Program. It gives you the opportunity to change you life compleatly around. If gives you the opportunity to find new beliefs, it gives you a choice.
Love & God Bless
Arlene

Loyal / Disloyal
HI all:
I think I am a loyal person, if I say I am your friend you can always take my word to the bank and count on me being there for you. EOR? I was the owner here for a little while, and I think I was loyal to the membership. I took pride in that, and pride in the friends that I found here online.
I do try hard to be a loyal person these days, there was a time no one could count on me. But today cuz of AA and the people that have been there, I am a loyal person today.
Love Kathleen
