Things my sponsor won't let me say, like,..
I know.
It wasn't my fault.
But
Hard
Working a step doesn't mean sitting on it for a few months anaylizing it...LOL (disclaimer!!.....this was directed at you, BFF, as you kicked my butt often to move to the next step)

I can't. It's too hard.
I'm different.
I don't need it.
I've got it figured out.
Of course it's about me!
I'll do it tomorrow.
I've done everything except "The God Thing."
and, last but not least,
"Of course! It's a thong!"

I don't want to do this right now.
I'm in a bad mood just leave me alone
I don't want to go walking today

Oh, I so have to bite on this one as I hear it too much at times....LOL, and you know what a meeting Nazi I am....
When I hear this, of course, my replies vary with each sensative alcoholic, but it goes along the lines of "I can pour the first one for you" or "thinking like that surely would get ME drunk" or "how's that working for you, skipping meetings? Hasn't the insanity drove you to drink yet"....LOLOL
How about when I asked you if I could have a male sponsor? LOL, that went over real well....LMAO
I have to laugh. There are a number of folks that show up at meetings AT LEAST once a week, but then there are others who I see only every couple weeks or such. They believe they're all better, but they slowly drift further and further from the center of the herd.
I always make it a point to welcome them as visitors--in a purely friendly manner--of course. As it's an open meeting, the "regulars" tend to see many faces--it's GOOD to remind everyone that this face is familar...
LOL

I used to tell one of my sponsees she was not a squirrel and she couldn't store them up. I am so mean.
I am reminded constantly that I receive a daily reprieve contingent on my spiritual condition AND if I don't have a really good reason for missing a meeting, I'm reminded very quickly because my serenity starts to get fuzzy quickly and I'm sideways before I know it.
Someone once said, "If your doctor said you had a tumor and the only means of treatment was to show up at his office every day at the same time for an innoculation, you'd show up, right?" And if the only alternative was DEATH, you'd probably show up EARLY. Well, my sobriety is THAT important to me.

Time and hindsight plus other peoples E,S,H are my sponsor and the further away i am from a meeting the closer i am to negativety and who knows maybe a drink, the gratitude i recieve inwardly from meetings is immense:)

Dear Ms. Katbird,
I'm trying not to be a big bit**y baby, as I know how much you adore are type, but would you mind if everyone can play this game?
For myself I haven't had a sponsor for very long and some don't have one. I think that a sponsor can be a mentor, teacher. I've learned and "shelved" many good things I've heard; been told in life by my parents, grandparents, spouse, relatives, my kids, teachers, priests, authors, strangers, AA-ers, etc.
Would this be alright with you that everyone can participate not just AA people?
Recently my sponsor asked why didn't you call. I don't know. I was busy developing Iris undergarments.

Sponsor: "Turn it over to your HP"...
Lisa: "I have" LOL.
Lisa: "I have" LOL.
Of course you can play, Chris. Silly.
My sponsor gave me a CD today--he's good about making me grow even if I just want to rest. Obviously not everything I've been given is of value, and here's an example: DRUNKS. I find movies about alcoholics to be disturbing--now I have to figure out why. It's un-nerving watching "Normies" try to be alcoholics. Many are, in fact, toxic to MY recovery. I call them Sickos, but in my head I hear Haley Joel Osment saying, "I see Sick People..." like in The Sixth Sense
"Just take what you need and leave the rest," he says. "Not everything is about YOU." Well, hell.
Alcohol is a drink;
AlcoholICS = I Can't Stop;
Alcoholism = I Sponsor Myself...

Yes and thank you.
What I was after is can everyone be included not just AA people. As sponsors, mentors, teachers come from all different places in life. The title is Let's Play Again doesn't infer just for members of AA.
I just think theres so much wisdom that many people could share and I see a wealth of teaching opportunities knocking at the door here.
Thank You !
