Who me?
I'm just checking to see if I'm banned from this site....the forum leader said something to that effect due to "program bashing"....I didn't mean to bash anyone's program....just the actions of many, many people I've seen in a "program"...I don't hold The Inquisition against the Catholic Church down the street...but Torquemada seems like he wasn't really acting in good faith...kind of like that
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

as you must be exhausted.

No Rob...it was directed more towards me.
Some people just don't understand..i don't know.
it's Experience strenght and hope.
i can pull some quotes of recovery books pretaining
to this matter..but heck , no body reads the book completely.
I know it can be confusings at times. Just a lot of mix up
feelings and thoughts...yes??
I met a every gentle man in my 5th years of recovery.
It was before I met my GF ..i was struggling after a relationship
break up. He reach out me and help me through so..so much.
He had over a decade of recovery and work a good program.
Yet..somethimes I can see the tears in eyes. But through
all of it, he help me. i didn't understand it..I thought he had
all the answers...the answers that i needed at that time.
It wasn't til much later that i found out what he was going trhrough.
...bascailly the samething you and I did.
I couldn't even concieve of how a person live sober through
all of that and pray i never have to.
I have a deeper understand of how the man felt today.
The more i know..the less i know.
He struggles with his recovery and trust of the the fellowship.
and trust period.
Yet he was willing to take a chance on me to learn to trust
again...i guess.
The man left an imprint in my life. Sometimes when i find
it hard to bare, i remember him. He gave me strenght and hope.
He didn't drink. He struggles but he didn't drink.
Even a couple of months later..my sponsor's son died in an accident.
He would take the time to help me right after burrying his son.
He didn't drink through all of it.
In a perfect world we can all hold hands and sing cumbaya..and pretend i guess.
In the real world..."don't pick up no matter what"
simple but not easy.
I just have to process everything and not run from it.
It comes like waves. It gets fewer and futher apart as time gose by,
but it's there. i don't denial that it's not there.
i guess that's what you're trying to get at..denial.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
It's the countdown to 2008...less than 11 hours here on the East Coast of the USA...no need for anyone to feel alone or lonely on this last day of 2007. Get out of yourself, out of the house, into a meeting...whatever it takes to see the New Year in sober!
