Am I important? Well, let's see....
To myself I am important enough to place my sobriety first and foremost over anything else.
To my family and friends who love me I am important.
To my job and my creditors I am important.
To my HP who I choose to call God I am important.
To be a sober and productive member of society I am important.
To the newcomer reaching out for help from someone who understands and needs help, I am important.
To be seen as a walking Big Book I am important.
How am I not important?
In the grand scheme of things I am one of trillions in this world and therefore not very important. I have not won the Nobel Peace Prize, found a cure for cancer or other affictions so once again I'm not that important. Being the self-centered creature I am when I see others laughing and giggling in my presence or with an angry look on their face I know today that it's not about me and therefore I'm not important. The world does not revolve around me or my thoughts therefore I am not that important. Perhaps this is where rule #62 came into play.
The most I can be today is another sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous and that is pretty important!
