It could be the judgment you are seeing is a case of projection.

I am a person who is vulnerable to relapses of the psychiatric type. Anxiety fuels really self-destructive thoughts and I find mySELF challenged to find a more honest way to do my program.<br /><br />My inner self-judgments mirror the same conflict I have with others who may be at their own beginnings, struggling to believe in program. Perhaps you misunderstand the intent of my writing. It is to look closely at my judgment. Of myself and others. So that I can step past them.<br /><br />I need to address these away from my meeting rooms, so I can better catch myself before I go about judging folks. I am starting a meeting in my hometown and want to be aware of what I am packing so I can put it down and listen. <br /><br /> I find the conflict with others is exactly the conflict I have in judging myself. Or trying too hard in my program, to do things a "certain" way.<br /><br />Anyways, thanks for both comments and your understanding.<br /><br />Best, SmittySmittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681768755769989964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576931768660001666.post-90448170304590670482013-01-16T15:03:03.431-08:002013-01-16T15:03:03.431-08:00"there is some kind of conflict taking place,..."there is some kind of conflict taking place, some thoughts I am resisting."<br /><br />I learned that what keeps us bogged down in relapse is our thinking. We are our worst enemy. Our thoughts havel an impact on our behaviors in ways we can't even understand sometimes. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089788992642824340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576931768660001666.post-86424767540154176502013-01-16T14:24:00.078-08:002013-01-16T14:24:00.078-08:00Get over yourself.
