TOPIC: A Recovery Thought To Ponder. Makes One Say Hmmmm.....


Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found it
necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.


Thought to Ponder . . .

If I want to be free as a butterfly, I've
got to get over having once been a worm.

Hmmmmmm.....a worm.

What is a worm? What do they do?
How do they live and survive?

To work (one's way or oneself) subtly or
gradually; insinuate: She wormed her way
into his confidence.

To elicit by artful or devious means.
Usually used with out of: wormed a
confession out of the suspect.

As an insult meaning "abject, miserable person"

Of course there r many other meanings
for this worm and for people including
me when i was active in my drinking
career.

However, too....I could still be a "worm",
alive and active in my sober life...that's
if i choose to.


Just like our disease being cunning, baffling
and powerful, then so can being a "worm".
Decieving, munipulating......

Sure, i was a worm many times, esp.
when i wanted to get out of a lie or
situation i didnt want to be caught in.

"I didnt do that" ...No way i could have
been there"..."I didnt take anything"

And then to stand there accused and
lie so perfectly to make it seem like
it was the other persons fault.

Been there done that.

Boy, i could have recieved the Actors award
for that outstanding performance.....lol

What a "WORM"!

Today Im a little bit better.....not
perfect, as i have a conscience.
My mind does bother me a little more
as i become honest in all my affairs.

Anyway....butterflies are so much
prettier and fluid in their motions.
Freer than a weasel of a worm.

Are you a Worm or Butterfly today?
