I was kicked out of my parents at 18 and living on the street and was in a trap house and a black guy who I thought was a angel forever was there planting seeds and asked me if I knew Jesus and I said yeah and he asked me if I knew what Bible means and I said no and he told me Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth and that stuck with me. I never heard that before and then I almost got raped killed and I was shot at then I went to my parents and said I need a rest. I had no veins and I was getting sick. I was trying to watch TV and the only thing on was the 700 club and they had a heroin addict that God saved. I don’t remember the story but I thought about the BIBLE thing the black guy said and that 700 club story and I was sick and tired of the game and being sick and tired. I didn’t pray but I cried out to God. I said God I can’t do this by myself. Send someone. Do something. Then there was a crack of thunder but it wasn’t raining and immediately after a call from an unknown number and I accidentally answered and they said they were praying for me and then was disconnected. Then 2 weeks later I meet my future husband who accepted what I was and helped me. I needed him and God gave me what I needed. Then I was in jail and a book was like my life and the guy was like my ex who was a junkie too and God saved them. So I thought I have to dig into this but the Bible never made sense to me but I got a Bible and I opened it to the book of Job and God changed me. He spoke to me in the green pastures of a jail cell. And I called out toGod I had to quit the dope but the track marks were messing with me and over night He blessed me and took them all away except for my left ankle which I still have 14 years later to always remember what He did. I know I am let alive for a reason and thank you for keeping me motivated. I recently went blind and your music helps keep my mind on proper things. Which I need because I am human. I know He is a miracle maker and nothing is impossible for Him!

3 month 10 days. Feeling fine. Friday night and a bit agitated. I’m fed up with work or more exact work colleagues. I work with people that annoy. Mostly the upper management. I’m not going to drink but would love. Nice cold pint of beer. This would then progress into about a 5 or 6. No. Fizzy pop and some sweets will do.
But anyway. They’ve fucking annoyed me. It’s simmering away until Monday morning which is going to spoil my weekend. Wankers…

I hate that. I work with fuckwits too. My resentment practice has been doing overtime lately. One of them in particular is still an arsehole but at least I feel better about it.

What made you feel better about it?
I write down all the emotions he generates in me - rage, hurt, anger, disappointment, boredom, every little thing he makes me feel. Then I take each one and write down what he does that causes me to feel that way. Then (and this is the hard one) I write down what my part in each little thing is and what I can do about it. In the end, most things turned out to be just him being himself and there is nothing I can do apart from not engage. Finally, I write 5 things in my gratitude list about the person or thing I resent and I keep doing that until I stop feeling resentful towards them.
Most things take one or two days tops and the feeling is gone. Arsehole is a bit trickier and I am on day 3 now but I do honestly feel better today than I did 3 days ago.

That’s a very good and thorough technique. I just get angry and argue which does me no good. One technique I do use in group meetings is to give NO opinion…therefore when not asked for it and the shit hits the fan it was never my idea…

Sat at in laws waiting for our Chinese meal to arrive. Everyone sat round drinking gin and vodka and all sorts of other stuff and getting pissed. Everyone happy, no nonsense just having fun.
I’m onto my 2nd coke. Going okay. Would love a gin but I’m not going to cos it’ll not be one!!!
Where is my Chinese meal? I’m starving!!!
