Day 242
Has my addiction allowed me to make a positive difference for others, especially my children? Or have I contributed to whatever shame they may have by not treating my sexuality in healthy ways?
Should they be left alone to find their way through my recovery, or should I be active in reaching out to them and encouraging more candid conversations? I'd give about anything to know the answer to that. Of course, we have to figure it out for our specific situation, but that's the wisdom I'm seeking, at the risk of worrying about and working on dynamics that could put my own recovery at risk.
God help me to know when or if to share more openly with the people I most love; not for my recovery, but for whatever recovery they might need.
