All Squabling aside. It's been a really tough week. I am struggling. I could use the extra prayers please. Things are not looking too good for me in my near future. I wish you all the best life has to offer. i have taking all your opinions into consideration. But it's not in my best interest to screw my own program up over this. In the future I do not want to become a miserable old AA man. But carry a positive message to help others who are in the dark. Again. Take care. Please pray for me. :(

@deliriousangel Not sure what you have going on, but know that we wish you nothing but the best. Hang in there, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Mike BD

When it comes down to it. Your a fool. In the book it says this is a simple program. It does not say devote your life to make it seem impossible to work this program by propaghanda lololol

I was in AA for two years and had AA friends for over 20 years. I finally

left AA for good when I saw that my AA friends lives were not getting

any better. After 20 years "in the program" they were the same selfish,

immature people. They never grew up. Stay away from this program. It's

bullshit. You have the strenght to find your own way. Oh, and BTW, I haven't

had a drink in over 30 years.

The reason we must admit we are powerless over Alcohol is because it alters our minds in such a way that we have no defence in this world against the evils around us. Meaning mean, nasty, greedy abusive people. Things seem to happen by default when we are stoned or drunk or living with someelses addiction.

Listen up people. Here is the deal with A.A.. You must not read the Steps you must apply them to "experience" the benefit of them. They are suggestions from people who actually tried them and found it worked for them. You have to have your own experience. It is personal, it is individual. You can not get the experience by looking to others. The best we can do is follow the suggestions take action on them and then share what we learned about ourselves with each other.

Seems like all odds are against me at the moment. Like there is a war waging inside me between good and evil. Hasn"t been easy Mike

[deliriousangel]

I have been able to see resentment in others I was blind to before. Even helped people who are not in the program.

An A.A.ers favorite word: Resentment....Ever notice how they love throwing the word around? Everybody but them must have it because they can see it so easily in others. They love throwing the "keep your own side of the street clean" slogan around. Then in the next breath, they will gladly tell you about all of your resentments that you need to get rid of...lolololol
