Do you think a person lives a full life by picking some people people to be in their circle while rejecting others?

WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY
One thing about Ana was -she never really complained much Sometimes that’s more of a Testament to one person than to the other.
For the 1st 45 years of my life the longest relationship ever really lasted was a year or so.
When you transition from life in a negative way -this is the dynamic between you and others if they so choose…*
When you transition from life In a positive way -this is the dynamic between you and others if they so choose…*
*In either case, and granted the people around you do not progress, or regress… What am I trying to say? Humans for their part tend to be very mindful of the dynamic between themselves and those around them.. And when a shift occurs… There’s your perception and it’s effect on you and their perception and it’s effect on them. My experience with descending below people in my addiction is that many of them lack understanding, patients, limited love… Is now my experience with ascending ascending above people (We all have The Choice to ascend or stay where we’re at or descend) in my recovery, in the spiritual sense -is that they no longer get you. In some cases they will even attempt to look down upon you. As I’ve said before it many times-anything outside of the Box -for better or for worse…🤷♂️🤷♀️
SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE
The more sane one becomes the more alone they begin to feel. We’ll. That’s probably why a lot of alcoholics blow their brains out at 30 years or more sober -not to mention all the losses they’ve incurred.
I can’t make your amends for you 🤷♂️
Our struggles to looki at ourselves instead of everyone else, I suspect, is the one thing in life that most alcoholics will have to live with
“CHANGE” is the most illicit (?) drug one can ever experience.
You think going from dirt-poor to filthy-rich is one hell of a ride – Hell that’s nothing compared to going from being spiritually bankrupt to spiritually rich.
A PENNY SAVED…
There are primarily 2 kinds of people in the world:
1 The ones who spend money
2 The ones who make (save) money
GOD
What is the one thing we should be willing to go out of our way for more than any other? “SEE ABOVE”
WHEN FREEDOM BECOMES BONDAGE
How many people have no idea that they’re an bondage!
You think that just because you can afford not to lie cheat and steal that you’re not a thief a liar and a cheat? There are a lot of people out there in the world that cannot afford not not to be liars cheats and thieves and yet they choose not to be.
People did a lot of things to me in my life and I’ve done a lot of things to people in my life. The thing is that a lot of people still want to do that dance and I no longer want to.. That’s what’s up with the attitude People did a lot of things to me in my life and I’ve done a lot of things to people in my life. The thing is that a lot of people still want to do that dance and I no longer want to. That’s what’s up with the attitude
It used to be I treated people less than what they treated me-now people treat me less than what I treat them.
There’s things you like hearing
There’s things you don’t like hearing.
There’s the truth
And then there’s the line
Now pick 2 out of the 4 that best suit or apply 2U
I’m here to pick people up not knock them down high from but sometimes you gotta knock people down in order for them to listen, to change the err of their ways* 🤷♂️🤷♀️
That’s what alcohol does doesn’t it? The great persuader! Well sometimes people in recovery have to be knocked off their high horse….
Probably 3 things that really chat people’s hide and alcohol technologies when I speak:
1. I speak about the book and beyond it because of so many things God has taught me over the years.. So many things other people in the rooms have taught me over the years.
2 I don’t just speak to alcoholics in the room, I speak to all peoples of spiritual matters – And the last time I checked, anything spiritual was fair game in a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
3 A lot of alcoholics are in here just to save their ass and not their souls. I’m not just interested in your ass I’m interested in your soul! Your spiritual well being as bill Wilson would put it.
4 I listen to stay sober but I speak for you. I said. I speak with you in mind. Especially the newcomer!
5 I don’t like to talk about myself, I’ve done that for years.. Besides that, there are plenty of people in these rooms willing to talk about their drunk alogs… I prefer to talk about the principles, the solution!
If you want to hurt someone all you have to do is tell the truth period of course that’s not why we tell the truth! – But it appears to be one of those unavoidable facts in life that if you tell the truth you’re gonna hurt to certain is Earth a certain amount of people. And until they choose to change their attitude they’re attitude and their behavior…. That will likely continue!
When I deliver a punch to the gut… usually not intentionally, it’s more of an attempt to bring awareness to others than anything else. You might be surprised just how many people are not interested in increasing their own awareness. But when you bring the hard truth to people’s attention, it often times comes across as a gut punch, a sucker punch. And regardless of your own intentions, people tend to respond and kind – Without of course the intent of bringing greater awareness in a positive sense perhaps in a negative one. That is the dilemma Jesus faced on a daily basis.. He tried to bring about hard truth is truth for the betterment of mankind’s sake and many of them turned around and tried to bring him awareness for his own demise. For his own suffering. TRU-SHRORY
*There are people in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous that seem to like what I have to say and there are people in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous for miss I wish I’d keep my mouth shut. But that basically equates to is a division in the room’s. It was. Which sounds early similar to that of a man who walked the Earth some 2000 years ago years ago in his experience. But that basically equates to is a division in the room’s. It was. Which sounds early similar to that of a man who walked the Earth some 2000 years ago years ago in his experience. But some of the haters eventually come around because they’re not bad people.
You’re more likely to turn people against you and alcoholics and autumn is by speaking the truth and by being an asshole. Is a matter of fact, I know a few assholes and i’llcoholics anonymous who are highly revered by certain people in the program.
Might as well get used to the fact that as long as you speak the truth there’s always gonna be division among your fellow man. As long as some people choose to embrace the truth and others choose to ignore or repel it…. This will always be the case! And this too will always be the case!
When I can honestly speak of people who are not necessarily my friends, not necessarily my fondest supporters…. When I can honestly say that I believe they are doing a fine job in their efforts to bring goodness and truth, I know that I am dealing in reality – When they are unable to do the same thing in kind, I know there’s a good chance, there’s a good probability they are not.
People will wear you down
There are 4 sectors 1 should be concerned with:
•Do I want to hear it
• Do I not want to hear it
• Is it true
• Is it not true
If for example, you are unwilling to pick up The Bible and read it… The problem centers in you not in that book. So when you come into a room provoke all it’s anonymous and have problem with the speaker…. There’s also a probability the ability that it may be you and not them. Especially if they read The Bible or the big book on a regular basis.
Flexibility and teachability
People make up their own definitions all the time
Any time we deal with a person who is filled with anger or fear or both
In order to have a 100% security you have to have 0% freedom. Send freedom. If 911 worked to get us this far…. And when is the next one coming to take us to the next level of Oppression? Some people are just waiting around to implement that next opportunity.
Ever since we left the garden of Eden man has been a psychological, emotional, spiritual mess. If we couldn’t get our shit together in the Garden of Eden how are we supposed to do it out here with all of these temptations and all of these obstacles and all of these challenges? Well the answer to that’s quite simple-we don’t! We just continue screwing up like never before!
How big is your universe? The more I drank and drugged-the smaller and smaller my universe got until it was incapsolated in the bottle and a needle and a prescription bottle.
That’s all you have to complain about then I’m doing pretty good
And how many books are on the law that only benefit a few? Cool? How is that different from people breaking the laws so that they benefit a few?
WHATEVER GETS YOU IN THE DOOR (of AA)
When an honest man does business with a dishonest man:
•The honest man usually gets burned
•The dishonest man tends to be treated justly and fair
Granville told me many years ago, when an unhealthy person and a healthy person come together, it’s usually the unhealthy person who “pulls-down” the healthy person rather than than the healthy person “pulling” the unhealthy person” up -WELCOME TO GODS’ 🌎
Over the top
There are people who operate @ what we we would call “the apex” of life’s challenges, achievements… and there are those even still, much to our own amazement, have something left in the tank as well (they can go even further if they had to).
Consistency has never been one of my strengths -but it’s a marvelous way of throwing people off!
The more a person can go through and still stick around… 🤷♂️🙆♂️
Practice always bring about change -for better or worse depends on what we’re practicing 🙆♂️🤷♂️
Some people in Alcoholics Anonymous, all they do is speak from the book because they can’t let anything else in that God is telling them.
HOME MOVIES
I remember watching old home movies of our family we’re a family when I was a child and always and always being drawn to myself put myself in the videos. It’s probably natural but… I just seemed to be infatuated (or elated with) seeing myself in those videos 🤷♂️
Seeing myself as a little boy in those movies came to mean alot to me! 😊
BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN
You look at the United States for example and man’s relationship to nature -and man is king; you look at a continent like Africa -and it’s the opposite.
A lot of people never stop to think there’s actually 3 sides to a coin. Or, that while there may be 3 sides to according comments still the same coin none the less lol
