I just had to share this with someone. This past Tuesday I had a very big scare. I was having sever chest pains and ended up spending the day with a bunch of medical folks. Doctor doesn't think it was a heart attack, but says he believes I do have an issue with the sack around my heart.
Anyway, for today, I'm good. What I wanted to share is what I've seen in my sponcee's. I have a couple very new to sobriety/recovery and a couple midway in The Steps. They all are using what they've learned so far to sponsor me during this scare. It is a beautiful thing to experience. This Program is working! I had to chuckle a couple of times with the ones who were/are in that new recovery mode. I couldn't get them to complain about a thing. I've given them the talk about not calling me when they get tangled up or out of sorts for fear of upsetting me. What I said was I'd kick their butts!!! I need them!!
Had a similar problem and everyone suspected a heart condition, so nobody did a full blood count. A friend of mine did a full blood count and found I was iron deficient. Problem solved.
Yes, so glad to hear you will be alright. Keep seeing the Doc and take care of yourself.
As a sponsor myself , I have always tried to be the pillar of hope, the one who never has any problems and helps others with theirs. Well ,there have been a few times Ive had to let my guard down and share with a sponsee every now and then. I gotta remember ... Im human too. And just cuz I am the 'teacher', doesnt mean I cant learn something along this journey Im on too.
Yeah, gotta love this program. It works so well when we work together
