So in the last couple of days I've had to apologize for things I've done or said, which is kind of new for me, at least when it comes to things I've done in sobriety. You see I'm used to apologizing for things that I have done high as a kite, I have no problem doing that because I can sorta blame it on the drugs. Don't get me wrong I was the one who put the drug in my body, but I can somehow rationalize it to myself by just blaming it on the evil and selfish places that crystal meth took me to.
But making mistakes in sobriety is a whole different kit and caboodle, the two situations I created were the following. First of all I pissed my sister off because after writing that email with her concern about my putting to much stock in my friends' life, instead of emailing her or talking to her first about what my reasoning behind it was, I went ahead and just responded to her on my blog. I know NOW that it was wrong, I should have let her know privately how I felt and then shared THAT experience with y'all. The second thing I did was give my sponsor some undeserved sass about our weekly meeting. You see because I will be participating in the AALA Roundup show, I will be rehearsing most of the day on Saturdays and Sundays, and my meeting with my sponsor is usually at 1230 on Sundays. I tried to pull one of my old tricks of guilting him into doing things my way, and having him shift his schedule around to make it more convenient for me. Not taking into consideration the fact that he has his own life, and schedule to live his life too. It's not ALL about me!! So I went ahead and apologized to my sister AND my sponsor back to back, and it didn't kill me as I felt it would. Everything is going to hopefully work out with both of them, and I have definitely made a big step towards my being a mature responsible man, hurray!!
