You might be surprised at how many are unfamiliar with “the basics”. You might do just as well sticking to the basics (as an example), as much as anything else. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Sometimes, the most profound things said “are simple reminders of things already spoken”!

I have the advantage (or disadvantage lol) of knowing addiction from both sides:

11 1/2 years drinking and drugging

31 2/3 years drug/alcohol free*

*I think in many cases the ratio of years drinking and drugging to years drug and alcohol free is very pertinent to:

•Our current state

•The length of time recovering

THE PERSON WHO DIES NEEDING “THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TOYS” WINS!

It wasn’t enough for “alcohol” to beat me into submission, “Life sober” had to beat me into submission!

It took a very long time to learn to think more of pthers, and less of myself! Especially when:

•selfishness is the only thing you’ve ever known;

•you feel justified

•you enjoy it

as long as we continue to be filled with fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, self-pity… we will continue to behave in accordance with these principles.

I don’t care how unselfish you, or I become, WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH SOME PEOPLE!

NOT EVERYONE IN AA IS STILL ALL SCREWED UP!
