So I don't need that boundary. I also don't call my sponsor whenever something goes wrong though in my case I probably should call more often (like this weekend when my vacation went a little crazy with my family). Anyway, I think you have a good outlook on how to handle your sponsees. They shouldn't rely on you as the only source of comfort. Their Higher Power needs to be the first one to go too! green_eyed_elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883755985547011430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-31651593355888278822013-07-15T18:43:57.514-07:002013-07-15T18:43:57.514-07:00I enjoy reading all your posts!

It seems selfish to put yourself first but with time you see this is the only way to live without resentments. If I wanted to believe I was a good person and have people like me I had give until it hurt.<br /><br />I have gotten past that and realized that I have to take care of myself first. The world will not come to an end if I am missing. AT first this was hard for my ego to take but I got over it.

I find that I don't feel like writing every day. I write when I have something to write about. And mostly I just stay busy with doing the things that bring me joy. Joy has been in short supply lately, but it is returning ODAT. Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
