I came to church confused about what was and was not my responsibility. Today, after lots of Step work, I believe I am responsible for the following:

• to be loyal to my values • to please myself first • to rid myself of anger and resentment • to express my ideas and feelings instead of stuffing them • to attend church meetings and keep in touch with friends in the fellowship • to be realistic in my expectations • to make healthy choices • to be grateful for my blessings

I also have certain responsibilities to others:

• to extend a welcome to newcomers • to be of service • to recognize that others have a right to live their own lives • to listen, not just with my ears, but also with my heart • to share my joy as well as my sorrow"
