Day 341

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren and  I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. Listening and communication have been a topic the past few days.  A relationship is based on trust.  Without trust, there is nothing.  To be able to trust, you have to be honesty, and to be fully honest there must be an open line of communication.  All these things together create a relationship.  A relationship is based on these 3 principles, the triangle holding it together.  Without one of them, the relationship has a faulty foundation.  With bad communication can cause honesty issues which in turn shakes the trust factor.  Each one needs the other.  They are all dependant on the others.  Each day I face these facts.  In any relationship I have, be it family, friends, or even work.  I knew when I got out of treatment, I was going to have to earn people's trust back.  It wasn't go to be  easy.  They weren't just going to give it to me.  But for me to do that, I had to work on the other 2 factors, to improve my chances at ever getting that back. I have to be honest, and open, and communicate to those my feelings.  I have heard another phrase, "Trust is like a piece of paper, once it is crumpled it will never be perfect."  I know this, but can only do what I can with what I have, and that will have to do.  I crumpled up that paper, now I am ironing out.  Day by day, it is getting smoother.  That's all for today!  Have a great one!
