I Should Be So Much Better By Now!
 
Tom talks about how trying harder can kill us.  We have spent too long throwing energy into the things we cannot change.  He talks about self deception, before and after recovery. Being alive, we get to experience lots of ups and downs.  And when we go back to step one, we start over again.  It doesn’t mean we are doing something wrong….it means we are rebuilding. He shares with us how being hurt shows up as disappointment, anger, fear and sorrow.  Going into those empty places brings up different feelings for each of us.  Tom reminds us that grief is part of recovery and sorrow is useful.  He speaks of love and how loving others doesn’t change them...but rather how it changes us.  Tom shares with us how to pray with a more generous heart.  And he shows us some ways to tell when you are growing spiritually.
