finally got my copy of dr and read thru to the first step - start with a beginner's mind
i must admit that i pulled a few gems out of this - but the number one point i drew from this step is the manipulation factor, which was something i was definitely dealing with
i hate head games, because i have always felt my h was playing them with me, and i never wanted to do the same to him, but michele helped me tremendously with that question and subsequent comment on what manipulation really is
also, patience is something i really need to work on, and she emphasized the point on that - i must be patient
