Well, today I said no. I knew it was the right thing to do and it was.
The person I said no to was not upset, not angry, nothing. She said, "Mama, I understand. I just thought I would ask."
There will be others I say no to who are not as kind or understanding. They will be angry, or haughty, or put me down because of it.
But today, I said no.
That was difficult for me but I think a lot of us alcoholics have a difficult time with that two letter word.
Today I was thinking about myself. Not selfishly, but in the spirit of what I can and cannot do.
So, for today, I said no.
I am glad I said no to someone who loves me and understands.
