Do you think the old-timers at AA see through this?
Yes I think they do.
I agree with tallulah... focus on your life... scan yourself for HALT... realize what this day will mean to YOU.. what you want to achieve or feel this weekend... thinking about someone else is the road to madness as a user called "Ago" told me many times. You will never know. And yes they do Mental Gymnastics. That's their problem. Leave it to them..... (easier said than done I know..)
Ducks quack. That's what they do. We can expect them to quack. We KNOW they will quack. And then.. they quack.
