Friendship

As we progress in recovery we evaluate our relationships. As we do we discover many people we considered friends weren't. We simply associated with each other out of comfort or self satisfaction.

Going forward our recovery will be as successful as the health of our relationships. Good inentions are not enough. If we surround ourselves with unhealthy relationships with friends, family etc we are heading for failure.

To build relationships that will help us love and follow God we must set standards for our relationships.

Part of this is learning to take responsibilty, apologizing and making amends for our past failures.

Next week we begin Step 8: Made a list of all persons we have harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. COME AND JOIN US!

Proverbs 20:6 Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?
