When I asked my sponsor the simple question, when do I share? He said "When you have something to say or to correct some misinformation." He went on to say nothing irritated him more than someone that has nothing to say but takes twenty minutes saying it.<BR/><BR/>What's the hurry? Do I need the message the way I want to hear it every time or what I need to hear when it happens? Let's face it, a guy with seven years clean is full of shit, I know, because I was that guy as you were that girl; program arrogance and a pitch for every topic and always very articulate (translated as "what an asshole").<BR/><BR/>Never ceases to amaze me how people believe everything is created in a vacuum of ideals or experience and somehow magically appears in its present state for us to take advantage. You are right, it is religious and not spiritual and a seven year old's belief is bound to change with time because when the shit hits the fan and life knocks to your knees you will embrace the program or head out the door to follow the three terminal path: jails, institutions or death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
