These things will come to pass naturally and in good time provided, however, the alcoholic continues to demonstrate that he can be sober, considerate, and helpful, regardless of what anyone says or does. Of course, we all fall much below this standard many times. But we must try to repair the damage immediately lest we pay the penalty by a spree. If there be divorce or separation, there should be no undue haste for the couple to get together. The man should be sure of his recovery. The wife should fully understand his new way of life. If their old relationship is to be resumed it must be on a better basis, since the former did not work. This means a new attitude and spirit all around. Sometimes it is to the best interest of all concerned that a couple remain apart. Obviously, no rule can be laid down. Let the alcoholic continue his program day by day. When the time for living together has come, it will be apparent to both parties. Q1. How are you doing? a) Are you sober? b) How are you doing being considerate and helpful in all your affairs regardless of what anyone says or does? c) Do you tend to slip because of what others say or do? Q2.a) Write about the last time you fell below the standard of being considerate and helpful? b) Do you need to repair the damage by making amends? Q3. Are the people in your life respectful? If not, have you been wishy washy about letting them know this is non-negotiable in your life. Or have you been aggressive? Q4. Now you have had a spiritual experience, are you willing to have a new attitude towards your family? |And to give them a lot of wiggle room just as you expect them to give that to you to work your programme. Q5. Do you have a new attitude in your recovery whereby you try to live without thinking you are the centre of the universe? And do you want to have relationships with family, your neighbours, spiritual community? Q6. When working with someone and you laid down rules how did it work out? And how did it work out when others laid down the law for you? ends
