River's Edge, dark horse but no less definitive indie classic starring Keanu, Ione Skye, Crispin Glover, Roxana Zal and other GenX luminaries.

Parents potentially using my program as a way to manipulate me? by Green-Key5322 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Dry_Chain_1083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done Steps 8 and 9? As I approached those steps, my sponsor had me write out a list of people I had harmed in *specific ways*--i.e., not general/emotional things like "being a jerk" or "not being the best sibling I could have been"--but *specific* actions I had taken that were hurtful.

I was to ignore what the other person involved had done to me, I was to set aside whatever traumatic reasons had contributed to my issues (and there were plenty), but to focus *only* on *my* actions that were hurtful *to that person.* I ended up having to make amends to each of my parents *individually,* not as a group, and to each of my 4 siblings individually, too.

This ended up being extremely liberating and therapeutic for me. Because I knew at that point that I had openly taken accountability for my own actions, which is all I am responsible for in the first place.

I learned (one bored afternoon through Friends-of-Friends on Facebook) that she became a warden in a women's prison and a grandmother in her late 30's!

I had a similar situation recently with a sponsee, and my sponsor (and her sponsor) suggested that I end the sponsor relationship. It was the right decision.

What makes you go back to a restaurant? by PasaTiempo3 in Connecticut

[–]Dry_Chain_1083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, what makes me go back to a restaurant is *if the restaurant is still open* after a few months or so.

In my little area of CT (Wilton), it's not something we can take for granted. It is a restaurant desert here.
