Non AAers like Bugs and I share our experience...thats all any of us - AA or not, can do.
I like to think what I help posts someone, otherwise I wouldn't be here every day - but I also know, from experience, that what I say may never reach it's intended target, and it's taken me 2 years to accept that.
As for passing judgement on others - I guess I and Tib were the only two drunks who ever bummed. True I didn't do it at AA but only cos I never thought of it.
I also lied cheated and stole to get my fix. I was a prince among men.
I've said this before, but I'm glad I didn't get here any earlier or my reputation would be a lot different.
I'll never condone any non recovery behaviour on Tibs part or anyone elses - but I hope I'll always be open to posting to him, and anyone else, who wants my constructive input.
The only difference between me and Tiburon is I'm in recovery.
All lot of people at SR seem to have short memories at the moment.
This thread seems to be another washout.
Good luck Tib - like I said way back - you had 6 months - you can do it again.
