That Committee
Good afternoon all.
Any time I am alone with my mind, I am outnumbered. Unsupervised, my mind consists of a talkative, rowday, unorganized group of personalities with no apparent plan or sense of direction. Until recovery , I hadn't realized that , at birth, I was expected to assume the rold of chairman of the group. We, the personalities and I , traveled through life like a crowded tour bus with no driver behind the wheel. (Well, I drunk one constantly). One of the passengers drove for a while in any direction.
After a while, another passenger took over from him and took a left in Albequerque.. LOL.. but did so without even talking to the first driver. Later, a third took over for him, and so on. And later in life , we all wondered why we never got anywhere..
Things I get to learn in sobriety..
Keep living the dream and stay on the beam..
Good love, Inda

Some might find understanding from Joyce in her Battlefield of the Mind sermons.
Search "Battlefield of the Mind" on YouTube.
Yes, inda, I get quite uncomfortable in public if people look at me. I think the chattering in my head is so loud that it's bothering the folks nearby ....
All the best.

Well that ends a unbelievable awesome day and night in sobriety..
I got to go down about a 1/2 hr south of Akron. To a meeting and meet my grandsponsor.. Which was nice, we met at his house went to dinner then the his home group. And I didnt know but his sponsor was coming so I met my great grandsponsor..And thats not it yet.. Holy Moly , I got to talk to him and he is giving a lead on thursday that I will make.
But he shared with me , that his first sponsor was Norman Young ( 1 of the first 100 ).. He came in and was given to him and he gave him his BB, in 1947..
What a humbling night..
