Hi Mike. I appreciate your beliefs. The above of mine was not too far fetched in todays softer and more cuddly AA. We/I at times can convince ourselves of many BS things in life and at times we need a flesh guide to point out some things we've learned over the years. Heck I've been sober +35 and fairly often talk with my sponsor AND his wife about certain concerns. It's still a learning process and I need refresh input on things I didn't come into this world equipped for.
For instance I recently got a pearl from her and use it today. I was having some difficulty with someone's actions and she suggested in situations of disagreement that I think "maybe he/she is right." Then it's up to me to act.
BE WELL
