∞ when i honestly admit my powerlessness over my addiction, ∞
posted: Sun, Jul 20, 2008 12:15:01 PM
i can begin the search for a better way to live. well here is sit in a service meeting, writing a blog before i shoot off my big mouth, i will vent a bit before, after all, i can be semi-anonymous manner. after all, this is my space and i can say what i want. so the person who disrespects me the most came up and asked me to cosign something that i am not in support of. so in a minute i will get to speak, so i am powerless over my disease, which runs rampant at times, and especially when i have a passion for in my service efforts. so i did a ream a member a new a$$hole, and i was mostly spiritual. but so it goes…
so back to the topic at hand and admitting that i am an addict and powerless over the disease of addiction in myself and those i serve with. that admission means that conceding to my innermost self that i am an addict and powerless over the disease in other members.
but it i am better now and we are moving forward!
so off to being present again and seeing how much i can help accomplish.

not to enlighten the people, but rather to make them simple and ignorant.
