This to me sums up the silence you dont hear in meetings, its brillaint:

NO IT DOES NOT!

Life goes on with or without you whether you stay sober or not..Or whether you live on a spiritual basis or not life still goes on..People get over stuff and people live and die..People get resentments..Most of the spiritual people I know are the ones that keep f***n' up..Those are the ones who are walking in the spiritual path..the ones who get to make mistakes and take the appropriate actions behind them to try and turn them into assets and get current with their amends and their relationship with the Creator of the Universe..

How can I as a recovered alcoholic tell you that I have trancended resentment? How can I tell you that I have trancended fear? I'm a human being that's what WE DO..we create our own problems and our own pain and suffering, the beauty of it is that God loves us so much he gives us that freedom to DELIBERATELY create and manufacture our own mess..

Life does not get easier..Life is just life..Nothing is more difficult or more easier than anything since I didnt drink anymore..BIG DEAL!!

God removed that obsession but the boss doesn't care..All he wants is an honest day's work..The kids and the wife are not gonna understand, but all they want is DAD back in their life, you follow me?

Maximum service means MAXIMUM SERVICE..The length of time you have sober has nothing to do with how easy life gets..What kind of lies do we tell people when we say "It will just get better if you just dont drink"...Isn't great that God gives those of us who recover from alcoholism the grace and dignity to get through some of the tough times we experience in life..Maybe because on the other side of difficulty and the overcoming of it, there is after all a beneficial aspect to it..It's called, LIVING

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
that to me cuts out all the hocus pocus, 'promises this, promises that' stuff. WE ARE JUST HUMAN BEINGS. which is REAL HUMILITY. just cos we cant drink does not mean anything mystical. its a ILLNESS remember. i get sick and tired of people fighting and fighting to get SERENITY and end up just chasing their tails; i get tired of them because i am tired of doing it myself. life is the key - just the fact of being alive - gods will or not, that is the miricle. i stopped long ago going to AA for some some majical therapy or a personality surgery. i am me. i am alive. so are you.

AA can get caught up in its weird, illogical language, far too much for my liking.
