But if I see a shakey person in the room, and that puffed up stuff starts...I just cringe. I don't want the newcomer to think it is representative of the rest of us.<BR/>Hoping your day is good ...little Fig NewtonPammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513814300181006348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-76633187045846662432008-01-14T21:18:00.000-07:002008-01-14T21:18:00.000-07:00We have to remember that they are sick alcoholics ...We have to remember that they are sick alcoholics just you and I, and God has kept them sober too. You can have lots of years of sobriety, but not as many of actual recovery. Sounds like you did learn something from that big old blowhard though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-56077046081670024382008-01-14T20:57:00.000-07:002008-01-14T20:57:00.000-07:00lol, ain't people funny??

A friend of mine in LA, Dennis C., used to tell me when I would say something unkind about someone that I don't have to LIKE them but I do have to LOVE them. Dennis is a retread and has about 5 years less sobriety than I. But I love his QUALITY.

It would be very hard for me to sit through that over and over. I am an attention seeker, but I do it through the back door, so that kind of self aggrandizement would cause me to closely identify, and as a result make me uncomfortable.Scott Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361224878660334532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-20739876846973443612008-01-14T06:26:00.000-07:002008-01-14T06:26:00.000-07:00Sometimes our ego still gets in the way, as do our...Sometimes our ego still gets in the way, as do our perceptions of situations, and our judgments of others. Sometimes it still bristles us in the wrong way, other times we can smile and laugh it away. But whether we have 24 hours or 24 years, "it's sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but it will always materialize if we work for them."
