Trust is...

freedom from FEAR .. one of the steps of OA.. from one of my daily reading books was a assignment .. that is to write on trust.. as I think about this and how it applies to my addiction to food I wonder if I dont trust myself with food and when I think I am trusting myself it is during a time when I am in a very structured setting.. ie.. Nutri System... New Day or my low cal diets. It is if I cant trust myself to be in control without written instructions.. so trust with food is an issue. yes ...

I have always had a issue with trust since my parents divorced I can remember saying " if I couldn't trust my parents in keeping our family together how can I trust anyone?" When I met Duane and we really got serious I had a issue with opening up to him and trusting him.. I told him then that I only could trust myself and I could figure things out on my own as I always did. We worked thru this in our years of dating and I can truly say now I trust Duane with my life and he is my rock.

I am learning that trust is something I will have to have in the program and I feel so excited to finally let go of my fears and let God guide me each day ..

I can say that I trust my sponsor (you know who you are) because she has such a faith in AA and in God that I know she will be there for me as I go thru each step.

I know that I can trust Rachel to be honest with mean and be the friend that I need in my life ... and for that I thank her..

I trust my kids to support me in whatever I do...

Last but not LEAST I trust God to be my guiding lite and that He Loves me.
