I have not been able to get to a face to face AA meeting in almost a week. My home group is tomorrow night and I will go to that. I just wanted to let you know that this forum has really helped ground me this week and keep me plugged into the program. Thanks for posting here. I wonder if Bill and Bob had any idea we would have online "meetings" when they started the program. I am sure they would get a big kick out of it.
On another note, there is a guy at my homegroup who absolutely drives me crazy. I cringe every time he shares. He is so opinionated and he has several years (like over 20) and he is always trying to push his AA way on the group. It has kept me from that meeting in the past and know that is just an excuse for me to be lazyy I must accept all personalities and take what I need and leave the rest. I am working on being healthy. Just wanted to vent. Thanks!
Howdy WR...I can identify with how you feel with the ego trips from those that think they have all the answers..and try to push it all onto others...I just got back from a big AA sevice assembly...and they are a big test...of tolerance....for some..
Ive seen some of those ego trippers when the Sh#t, hits the fan,,and is dispersed unevenly all over the place...not a pleasant sight...
And if Im rigorously honest..I used to be one....and yup....it all hit the fan, eventually...
I did have all the answers tho......but I didnt know what the questions were...Doh!!
Like trying to make a cow bark....when all it can do is go "Moooo!!"
"Humble" is a big word in this alkys vocabulary...each and every day...
"Surrender" is another one...
And the ones that are still playing God, out there? I gotta stay away from them....theres a line that I can cross....where one can react....Ide rather walk away.. than be sorry for something Ide regret later...Been there..done that..enough times...
You have a good night freind...
