The Actor
Any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in
collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good.
Most people try to live by self-propulsion. Each person is like an actor who wants to
run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the
rest of the players in his own way.
If his arrangements would only stay put, if only people would do as he wished, the show
would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased.
Life would be wonderful. In trying to make these arrangements our actor may sometimes be
quite virtuous.
He may be kind, considerate, patient, generous; even modest and self- sacrificing. On the other
hand, he may be mean, egotistical, selfish and dishonest. But, as with most humans, he
is more likely to have varied traits.
What usually happens?
The show doesn't come off very well. He begins to think life doesn't treat him right. He decides
to exert himself more. He becomes, on the next occasion, still more demanding or gracious,
as the case may be.
Still the play does not suit him. Admitting he may be somewhat at fault, he is sure that other
people are more to blame. He becomes angry, indignant, self-pitying.
What is his basic trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind?
Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world
if he only manages well?
Is it not evident to all the rest of the players that these are the things he wants?
And do not his actions make each of them wish to retaliate, snatching all they can get out
of the show?
Is he not, even in his best moments, a producer of confusion rather than harmony?
Selfishness — self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a
hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our
fellows and they retaliate.
So our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making. They arise out of ourselves, and
the alcoholic (addict) is an extreme example of self-will run riot, though he usually doesn't think so.
Above everything, we alcoholics (addicts) must be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it kills us!

Are we being selfish and trying to run the whole show today?

Powerlessness
I understand that some of you may disagree and that's ok,
this is just my experience with the whole idea of powerlessness.
Powerlessness. When I first heard this word as it relates to my
alcoholism I dismissed it connecting it with weakness.
I was raised to be strong, Not complain, fight through pain and
don't get sick, don't cry.
I wasn't allowed to be weak.
Emotional pain- we just don't talk about it. Ignore the
elephant in the room. Get over it I was told. Just forget about it. Let it go.
Physical pain- If I hurt myself, My dad would say you are a Sullivan and
Sullivan's are tough. So don't complain.
I believe I drank over those stuffed feelings of trying to be tough
but falling short.
I truly did not know what to do with those feelings, when my dad was
saying you are tough I was feeling weak.
But I had to push through. I couldn't let him down. Couldn't
show I was weak.
I think the way that I was raised to be strong actually prevented me
from hitting a bottom sooner and kept me in denial believing I
should have been able to overcome this by myself.
But those ideas of being strong had to be discarded if I were to
begin the process of recovery.
I had to admit that though I may have been strong in other areas,
that when it came to alcohol and drugs my will was weak and I was
not going to ever get well until I admitted that I was defeated.
To Raise the white flag I found "That to Surrender is to Win!"
Any old ideas keeping you from really seeking recovery?

"A moment of silence for those who suffer in and out of these rooms." Prayers to those who went out and did not make it back. A reminder to myself ....that I take my Recovery seriously each day.
