My 2nd time through the steps, & my sponsor is taking me through the long form ( I swear she has her own extended long form, LoL). Today's assignment is to write out my idea of a Sane, Normal Relationship 🤦🤦🤦
It wasn't long ago I was indulging in 13th step activities, followed by the delusional fantasy of a perfect rehab romance 
...
The deeper I get into my step work and the more I focus on my recovery & service, the less interested I am in Any romantic relationship... NEVER imagined feeling this way --- it's so freeing... Happy, Joyous and Free, to be specific.

I’ve experienced a very similar journey. There are still things I would like to have in my life. Very much. I just have to have faith and put my sobriety first and everything will happen as it should.

Glad to hear this. I'm in my 4th step right now, but keep finding ways to get distracted from it. I need to finish writing it. I'll use some of the free time and down time I have during these holidays. Thanks for the reminder and kick in my behind.

Old timers keep telling me to not sit on it, and they're right (go figure)... I definitely got in my head about it for a few days.
Yes yesss. The promises will be fulfilled - sometimes quickly sometimes slowly- continue to ask your higher power for His (or Her) will for the next right thing in your life--- then Do it, LoL
Remember that faith without works is dead (p88, Big Book).
Simply having faith will not get us far if we don't Trust.
I trust that all will be as it should. All I have is this moment and accepting it as it is. Merry Christmas to you!! I hope your holidays are happy!!
