Rule #62

[Marcie]

You Know Your a Drunk When:

Contrary to popular opinion, you don’t drink all the time.

You just enjoy having a few civilized night caps, day caps, afternoon caps and morning caps.

[Marcie]

You Know Your a Drunk When:

The first thing you think when you can’t find your wallet is, “Great, now how am I going to buy beer?”

.....love this rule #62 post!

If you ever have to jump out of a broken airplane with a parachute on.....



It is _ SUGGESTED _ that you pull the rip cord!

You know you are a drunk when you say:

"God help your soul if you have one more drink than me."

You Know Your a Drunk When:

You give yourself a field sobriety test before you go on a beer run.


*One of the ways I used to lie to myself. I'd do this while hold on to the back of the couch.*

You Know Your a Drunk When:

You call an ex-friend at 3am to ask what he meant by that remark last July.

Heard in an AA meeting....

Man said: If I lie I have to face a lie detector.

Woman said: You mean a Polygraph test?

Man answered: No, my sponsor!

Ways to Tell the Difference Between

Your Sponsor and Your Therapist

• Your sponsor isn't all that interested in the "reasons"
  you drank.
  
  
• Your therapist thinks your root problem is your lack of
  self-esteem and your negative self-image.
  
  
• Your sponsor thinks your problem is yourself.
  
  
• Your therapist wants to pamper your inner child.
  
  
• Your sponsor thinks it should be spanked.
  
  
• Your sponsor thinks your inventory should be about you,
  not your parents.
  
  
• Speaking of your parents--your sponsor tells you not to
  confront them, but to make amends to them.
  
  
• The only time your sponsor uses the word "closure" is
  before the word "mouth."
  
  
• Your sponsor thinks "boundaries" are things you need to
  take down, not build up.
  
  
• Your therapist wants you to love yourself first; your
  sponsor wants you to love others first.
  
  
• Your therapist prescribes care-taking medication. Your
  sponsor prescribes prayer-making and meditation.
  
  
• Your sponsor thinks "anger management skills" are
  numbered 1 through 12.
  
  
• Now that you haven't had a drink in six months, your
  therapist thinks you should make a list of all your goals
  and objectives for the next five years, starting with finishing
  up that college degree. Your sponsor thinks you should start
  today by cleaning coffee pots and help him/her carry a heavy
  box of literature to the jail.
  
  
• Your sponsor will not lose his/her license if he/she talks
  about God.

The 12 Steps to Humility

Step 1. Admit to yourself that you really just aren’t cool as you portray yourself to be to others.

Step 2. Look in the mirror and identify everything about you that you makes you uncomfortable.

Step 3. Tell yourself that you are incapable of changing these things on your own.

Step 4. Take a fearless inventory on just how many things you’ve screwed up in your life.

Step 5. Put your head down and try to not make eye contact with people.

Step 6. Expect what you think people are saying about you behind your back is true.

Step 7. Shut the F*!@ up!

Step 8. Start listening to people rather than talking

Step 9. Accept that anything you can do, someone else can do better

Step 10. Truly reflect on these prior 9 steps

Step 11. Pray for help

Step 12. Share experience with others

Now after working all 12 Steps thoroughly and have seen a psychiatrist, your humble path to spirituality may begin!

I just had to share that...Thank you

I cannot remember where it is in the Big Book but it does tell us that "we are not a glum lot" and God does not want us to be availed to a life of tears..

Grateful to be happy, joyous and free today and walking in the Sunlight of the Spirit and dancing with God.
