Lavorare i Passi sulla paura le ha permesso di agire sotto la guida di Dio. Sono sposata da quasi 50 anni. Mio marito è stato incredibilmente crudele, ma ho sempre avuto paura di andarmene. La mia più grande paura è stata quella di non essere in grado di mantenermi, di rimanere senza casa.
I Passi hanno eliminato la vergogna e il perfezionismo, una combinazione letale che le impediva di mostrarsi vulnerabile.
Die Arbeit in den Schritten bezogen auf die Angst ermöglichte es ihr, unter Gottes Führung zu handeln. Ich bin seit fast 50 Jahren verheiratet. Mein Mann war unglaublich grausam, aber ich hatte Angst, ihn zu verlassen. Meine größte Furcht war, dass ich mich nicht selbst versorgen könnte, dass ich obdachlos würde.
Die Schritte befreiten sie von Scham und Perfektionismus, einer tödlichen Kombination, die sie daran hinderte, offen und verletzlich zu sein. Wenn ich Scham empfinde, fühle ich mich verletzlich. Die Definition von Verletzlichkeit lautet: „Die Unfähigkeit, sich vor Verletzungen, Angriffen oder Spott zu schützen.“ Das Wörterbuch gibt außerdem an: „Eine Person, die besondere Fürsorge, Unterstützung oder Schutz benötigt.“
Travailler les étapes sur la peur lui a permis d'agir sous la direction de Dieu. Je suis mariée depuis près de 50 ans. Mon mari a été incroyablement cruel, mais j'avais peur de le quitter. Ma plus grande crainte était de ne pas pouvoir subvenir à mes besoins, de me retrouver sans domicile.
Les Étapes ont éliminé la honte et le perfectionnisme, une combinaison mortelle qui l'empêchait d'être vulnérable.
Working the Steps on fear allowed her to take action under God’s guidance. I’ve been married for almost 50 years. My husband has been unbelievably cruel, but I’ve been afraid to leave. My biggest fear has been that I wouldn’t be able to support myself, that I’d be homeless.
The Steps removed shame and perfectionism, a deadly combination that blocked her from being vulnerable.
Greetings from India. I am Iris from India–grateful, recovering, and blessed lustaholic and sexaholic. My SA journey and sobriety began on May 25, 2021, one day at a time (ODaAT). I heard about ESSAY and its garden of recovery at the beginning of my SA journey. I was approached to be a part of ESSAY’s garden, and I blossomed through sharing 3–4 articles. ESSAY has been one of my very strong recovery tools. I am never sufficiently grateful for its birth in our SA world. I am grateful for the many articles of recovery and for ESSAY reaching many members virtually and in print.
She decided to give away what was freely given to her. As I reflect on my journey in recovery, I'm filled with gratitude for the AA Big Book and those who have carried its message. Working the steps as they're written in the Big Book has been the most transformative path to true freedom that I’ve experienced.
