prodigal siblings: I have been Praying for You to Come
http://prodigalsiblings.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-have-been-praying-for-you-to-come.html
Friday, July 13, 2012. I have been Praying for You to Come. Because of my addiction, I have spent time in jail – twice – once while I awaited a bond reduction, and a second time as part of my sentence for theft. Jail was one of those places I never imagined being, but it was a place of grace. Early on the first morning I was in jail a big black man came into my cell and introduced himself. He said, “My name is Kenny.”. I responded, “My name is John.”. Then Kenny asked me, “What do you do? I didn’t ...

prodigal siblings: September 2009
http://prodigalsiblings.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. You Think You Have To Do It All Yourself. One of the biggest obstacles to recovery for me has been false pride, the sense that I can do this all on my own.

Why Your Life Sucks . and What You can do About It. In the garden of the Sarasota, Florida, estate of fabled circus entrepreneur.

prodigal siblings: "Why Me?": Dealing with Self-Pity
http://prodigalsiblings.blogspot.com/2009/09/dealing-with-self-pity.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. Here is a scenario of self-pity often heard from newcomers in recovery:. I just got back from an office party. I felt like such a jerk standing there sipping 7-Up while everybody else was guzzling champagne. Why me? Why do I have to be the one who can't drink? But feeling sorry for yourself for having to stick to it could be dangerous. Every time you say, "poor me! You are looking at what's going wrong with your recovery rather than what's right. It's the pessimist versu...
