D is for Disclosure. It is important that I bring my feeling out into the open. When I share with others, I get to hear myself and take an honest look at how things really are inside. When I bring secrets out of the darkness into the light, I allow them to decrease in size and they become manageable. Attachments:

I is for Intellect. It doesn't help to try to figure out how the program works. My brain can't figure things out, it has to come form my heart and soul. My sponsor told me many years ago, "Are you still intellectualizing? Stop it! Attachments:

people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times,

Just so with the human mind. Let enough Negative thoughts

sinks just like a ship".

T is for Teachable. I gain some humility needed to recover, I must learn to be teachable and listen when others talk and share their experience, strength and hope. I need to learn to identify and not compare because my drug of choice is but a symptom of my disease. I can learn from listening to others share their talk and I need to trust that my Higher Power put them in my path for a reason. Attachments:
