skippernlilg- yeah he is a catch all right! fbi's top ten most wanted ego maniacs!
tuffgirl- that quote about do or do not there is no try is one that i've meant to tell you for ages is awesome... i saw it (or paid attn to it for the first time probably last year at this time) and it kind of sticks with me as a turning point in my thinking. i used to lap up AH's "I want to get sober", "I'll try harder" etc... and at some point after seeing your quote I quoted it for him and told him (and it did not go over well) that I didn't want to hear about "wanting" to "try". That he should either DO what he says or zip it... It was a huge shift in my thinking to realize that talking about wanting to and intending to do things really meant nothing... So, a long overdue thanks to you for sharing that quote!
