One of my favourite bits in the big book is when they talk about how we all want to be director of the play and how everything would go right if other people would just only do what we wanted them to. That had me laughing at myself, it was so me!
Yep, I raised my hand once at a group, I had a problem with something or rather, "if only things worked this way, blah, blah, blah " bunch of old timers afterwards said to go home and read that section of the big book. Very appropiate.
The other day I had to make a call to this guy at work, the lady who answered the phone said he is busy right now, I said tell him it is (my name here), she said, "well he is still busy", I was shocked. Doesn't everybody know who I think I am???
A guy at meetings always says to me, if a room full of drunks had a tooth ache who's tooth would hurt the most?
