Funny thing sober sometimes you can be almost sane
Funny thing sober sometimes you can be almost sane
In the grocery line this little old lady with half the items I had was behind me and I asked her to go ahead. Then this guy behind me with twice the items and half the age I had said can I go ahead too? I said no no and he says I was a vet and I said join the crowd but behind me. Some people I can be peaceful but not passive. That is a thing really for me to learn in recovery.
Well i wasn't so ok but i am guessing i saw twice the service that dude did. Life is not about entitlement. The bad thing it seems to happen a lot of places even the rooms. Like pecking order. It is just life and not my problem. This dude was big and could have kicked my butt but you still stand up. I remember when I first spoke up at a meeting this guy afterwards says you need to earn your turn. So I went back the next day and spoke up again.
And it is all a growth thing. He was like 6:4 big crew due and part of me thought do you want to take it outside because I used to be like that but I just said wait your turn and went about my business. Sobriety has brought me much more peace. To myself and others
