Because I was in a lot of pain, I picked up my phone and called my ex-sponsor. She was the first lady I asked to sponsor me when I came into recovery. She later fired herself, because she was in too much pain to help me deal with my issues. I later asked her to sponsor me again.
Some people may not understand, but I heard her say, "What do you expect, I am an alcoholic?" I cringed, because my thought was, "I expect you to work the steps and apply them to your life." We are given daily reprieve. She also had a couple of issues that she wasn't willing to let go of, so I felt it was time to move onto someone else who was working a program, that I felt comfortable with. We have continued to keep in touch by phone. She is still a member of the Women's Group that I was a member of.
Tonight we shared about giving thanks, and I told her about the time I got the meditation card that said, "Give thanks, it is on it's way." I got up from the floor where I was doing my meditation, and the phone rang, and it was the solution to what I needed. While I was getting up, I said, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."
She said that if I was up and about around midnight, to give her a call, she was still a night person. It just may be the solution to the fact that my sponsor is out of the country until the end of this month.
I had prayed and asked for prayers for my son. She is a Reiki Master, and sent me some Reiki Healing for my migraine that I have had all day. I am so grateful that I am sitting now without any pain.
Grateful to my God and to the people who He puts in my path.
