After 10th stepping this with others today, I decided to discuss this with my BFF. I just said to him - "our ways of doing the 12 steps and sponsoring others is just so vastly different that I don't think we can compare the two ways at all, in any form or fashion, but I … Continue reading I Do Not Get It, Part 2
I Do Not Get It, Part 1
My BFF is an alcoholic. He is a "member" of a club that does not have a group conscience. His sponsor, is the treasurer, provides all the refreshments, and makes all the decisions for the group. He holds 2 meetings a day there, and it is listed as a "group" in the directory. The meetings … Continue reading I Do Not Get It, Part 1

The Only Group I Can Now Go To…
Is a group I said in 2007 that I would NEVER go back to again. Yup. Never say never. This group is "open to everyone" so it has no 5th Tradition. Oh well. They don't have cameras and there is a group conscience, of sorts. There is a heavy biker chick presence and I, although … Continue reading The Only Group I Can Now Go To…
Letting the Whirling Dervishes Whirl
Regarding this post: Now, my BFF called me this morning to tell me that "someone" told Mr. Guru that I have been calling people to talk about the banishment of Lance, so Mr. Guru told my BFF that he feels personally attacked by me (hearsay) and he does not want to do our prayer group … Continue reading Letting the Whirling Dervishes Whirl
The Ruling El-ite of One of The Fake Groups I Attend…
banned another person from "the building" but not from "AA" yesterday. Like I have said in other posts, I attend 1 real face-2-face group that is "open" and talks about drugs and sticks pretty closely to Step 1 and never strays and has a lot of crazy dry people and another "club" that calls itself … Continue reading The Ruling El-ite of One of The Fake Groups I Attend…
The Law of Entropy
If you build a house, and then leave it unattended for about 100 years, it will fall apart. Same with AA. We have 12 spiritual principles called The Traditions that were designed to keep AA going for future generations - just like we have The Constitution of the United States - and both those documents … Continue reading The Law of Entropy
A-N-0-N-Y-M-O-U-S
What about this word do "members" and GSO, NOT understand???? I believe GSO is encouraging groups to have cameras in them and include members "at home" in on-site meetings via ZOOM!!! I was told that by the chairperson of that group I went to a few weeks ago, and I just thought they didn't know … Continue reading A-N-0-N-Y-M-O-U-S
Not entirely a problem of mental control…
Mental Control refers to The Law of Polarity and The Law of Vibration in the Kybalion. I was reading about Mental Transmutation in the Kybalion and in literature about Hermeticism in the last few days, and I came across the term "Mental Control" as it is referred to "Mental Transmutation" which refers to what we … Continue reading Not entirely a problem of mental control…
