Thumbs up TOPIC: Learning, Growing & Grooming. Rude, Crude & Socially Unexceptable.

Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP and the
people like u here in SR I havent
found it necessary to pick up
a drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and u I am truely grateful.

Whether u r a newcomer just
coming into recovery or an old-timer
that's been around for awhile we're
always learning and growing new
and interesting things to better
ourselves in sobriety.

Old habits that are seemingly rude
crude and socially unexceptable
can be changed within ourselves
which is a part of grooming and
growing in recovery.

Transforming the unappropriate
habits into acceptable ones.

I can't take other people inventory
on personal rude habits however
you know if this applies to you.

When we were drinking or using
we were in a fog. We do things
without realizing that it rude
and can place a shadow over
our personalities ort he person
we would want others to view
us as.

To clean up these rude crude
and unacceptable habits we learn
to not do them again.

What kind of rude habits do u
know of that can be offensive
but can be changed to allow
u to grow respectably in recovery?


An example taught to me as a
child was....you can drive an
old car but it doesnt have to
be dirty and unkept. It can
look as good as new if kept
clean and polished.

You can be a smoker, but u
dont have to be gross about it.

Flicking ashes all over the place.
Clothes smelling smokey. Or u
can be a clean smoker. Clean
ash trays. Butts placed in garbage
cans. Clean fresh clothes. Shower
fresh body.

You get the picture?
