Alcoholics Anonymous
3rd Edition
For I am happy. I thought I could never be happy. A happy man is not likely to do harm to another human being. Harm is done by sick people, as I was sick, and doing dreadful harm to myself and to my loved ones.
For me, AA is the syntheses of all the philospophy I've ever read, all of the positive, good philosohy, all of it based on love, and the first is to interfere with the growth of another human being, and the second is to interfere with one's own growth.
Bump......Nice one! Love ya'...............Bob

This is the part that my speaker was using Sat. nite. She talks about relationships in early recovery and why it is not a good idea. She has done it so she speaks from experience. In early recovery we need to forcus on ourselves and not start a new relationship because we are hurting ourselves by putting the focus on someone else. You know how we are in the beginning of a relationship. All we do is obsess about the new person. Well, I do anyway and the women I know admit to it too. Hurting another's recovery is not something I would want on my conscience. I probably have done it but I am learning. This time around I managed to focus on recovery although I did manage a couple of relationships in the beginning. Now I look back and wonder what I was thinking hehe I wish I was still married when I got sober. It would have saved me a lot of lonely nights.
Hope you're having a good Monday.

Hi Kat,
Nice seeing you. Yeah, I'm having a good day, maybe sitting here a bit too long though. Just can't get moving. But I don't get many days where I can just relax so it's been ok. Now that I'm coffee'ed up I can start hangin' lights! lol
I'm very lucky to have Gina. Someone I can travel through recovery with. Both in the same book but usually on different pages..lol But thats ok, we do whats needed for ourselves, and at the same time support eachother, it's nice, and I'm very blessed. As well with my dad too, I think he's gonna speak for me this month? I hope so, he has a good message. I hung out with a buddy yesterday, my old sponsor, he's gonna speak for me this comin' Saturday. Thanks for what you wrote above, I don't know if there was an inbetween the lines message there, if not, I saw it anyway! lol I can relate to things today and see things I couldn't before, it's not always black and white. Anyway, I'll talk to ya' soon,
have a nice day, love ya'.........
Take care..........Bob
