So... what should we get?
Go get "it", right?
What is it?
To me, it is the fact that I don't want to drink booze nor do I want to do drugs/pills.
Then the book goes on to say something about "See to it that your relationship with Him is right..."
"... and great events will come to pass for you and countless others."
-The Great Fact
Good post,
ReplyDeleteWhat is it? Like you I have no desire to drink anymore. How did this come about? I had a psychic change.
What is a psychic change? A dramatic upheveal of belief systems and perpspective on life.
How did this happen? 12 steps
How is this maintained? Continuing to grow the God consciousness which was discovered as a result of the steps.
If I haven't had a psychic change then I have nothing to tranmit, other than one liners and bullshit. If the majority of people in AA kept their mouth shut and listened to people who had recovered, they too would recover.
Pretty simple.
Good stuff. You remind me of being in a situation... a bad A.A. meeting surprise surprise ... where the chair person calls on people to select a topic but not on people to share... sort of in a share as/when you're inspired deal... and as you're enjoying a nanosecond of peace and quiet... some bozo ruins it by saying, "I can't stand silence so I just thought I'd talk."
ReplyDeleteYep,
ReplyDeleteSilence can be terrifying to people when their brains have the chatter of a thousand monkeys going on. I can't stand meetings like that, course I got sick of incredibly rigid meetings as well, the fundamentalists don't have what I want either, at least in the open puke fests I was sometimes entertained, probably best for everyone I don't go to meetings anymore. Hope all is well with everyone who post here, life is good on the east coast.
