my daily reflections…

bein an alcoholic ive been blessed with, or cursed with, which ev one may desire to call it, an inner sense which is higher than most others. ive heard this ability called intuitive empathy. it is a sense where i feel emotions, not only my own, but from others, more intensely. unfortunately, with this sense, i can use it to manipulate others. i can use it to form trust barriers as well. recovery has shown me and taught me how to use this inner sense to better my life. it has provided me the capacity to assess others, and my own, potential to do harm to or perceive harm from, or see the good and sense the good in others and myself. this by no means makes me a clairvoyant, soothsayer, or psychic. what it does show me is the age old concept in recovery of, “if ya spot it, ya got it”. this does give me an upper hand in decipherin what my inventory can provide fer solutions to the pollutions i sense within. ive had to learn to trust myself, first and foremost, so i may build trustin relationships with others. 1 day @ a time...
