When I was reading the big book in the early days it said something like This is a sick person, how can I be helpful to him? and I was like you have got to be kidding, I am not going to help some ****** who would have the shoes off my feet as soon as spit on me.

I had to repeat this prayer over and over to myself when certain people spoke at meetings just to stop myself insulting them and slamming the door on the way out. Which I did a number of times until I realised I would then have to go back and apologise if I ever wanted to get into a meeting again. In this case, being helpful to them is keeping my mouth shut.

Hurt people hurt people.

Now I pray for people as they walk towards me: Give me the patience pity tolerance and kindness to treat this person as I would a sick friend or something like that. In the tiny millisecond before I react, I turn to my Higher Power and ask him to handle it with me.

It works. I am no longer in their control and I can move on in my value direction. It’s freedom.

Anyway, I am probably talking twaddle. Twaddle. That’s a great word. I’m no spiritual giant that’s for sure.
