You know I toss back and forth on them.
What bothers me is when people become programed by them. I know some that throw out slogans for everything and cant seem to have a in depth conversation... or they will not "feel" the emotions and let them out....
If they are angery.... instead of talking about the anger they just say "this too will pass" type of thing.
I think the secret is that life has to have a balance and we all have to learn to live in the world that is not in recovery too... that is my goal, to have loving relationship in all areas of my life. I dont want my whole life to only be the 12 step program.
