Hey nanda....when I tell my story it keeps me 'real' because I don't share the sugar coated version that makes me look like a 'good recovered codie'....I just tell it like it was, what I did...and still need to do, and how it is now. I also tell them how I still screw things up sometimes.
I've heard alot of speakers that (God bless them) left me feeling like they had no understanding of 'our' shared problem. I need to hear the whole story.
Ego schmeego!!!

If you are aware of the 'all about me' phenomena then you are worth listening to! Just being aware of it is enough.

Break a leg ananda! Not really. You know what I mean, right? I'm sure you'll do great!
