I'm fully self supporting through my own contributions !

Actually, in the 12 X 12, there's something in there about having enough to get by,and a prudent reserve. That's pretty much how I live. I have no credit cards, my car is payed for. Not an extravagant life by any means....

Um yes! I think that it is very important to be self supporting in life itself. So many of us have used and abused everyone and everything that we could. Manipulate, stole, cheated and sold ourselves to get what we wanted "The DOPE'' Now that we are trying to live the program I think that we should show our gratitude in life itself. And when that basket comes around I am aware that it is a cheap payment towards clean time.

With love and respect
