The Curmudgeon

[MajestyJo]

A woman I sponsored wanted to look into NA, unfortunately, her denial didn't allow her to stay there. She borrowed my books, got angry and threw them away instead of giving them back.

She continued to phone me. Her biggest thing was about being angry with God. I said, "Don't worry, He has strong shoulders."

She hasn't drank for a long time, and yet she walks around stoned 3/4s of the time. Substitution doesn't work. Just because you gave up your drug of choice, which for me, was what ever was there, doesn't mean that my addictive mind won't clasp onto something else if I don't allow myself the healing and the spiritual life of recovery.

It isn't about thou shall nots, this is a program of suggestions; but there are some darn well betters, or you will pick up a drink or a drug and wonder what happened.
