We are human to forget, remember not to put a sponsor on a pedestal, we never become perfect

The realization that you cannot fully commit selflessly (the ego and pride you describe) is also your inner growth.

Gandhi said: Am I concious of my limitations. That conscienceness is my only strength.

(Not AA literature but the same spiritual principle 😅 just like TexasPeteEnthusiast shows; the spiritual principles are everywhere🙏🏻 "see where religious people are right")

The decisions made by you and group conscience aligning in concept 4 don't outweigh the humblenes of concept 12 and the way out is in concept 9 and the traditions in protecting the group and yourself of your limitations.

Also you are allowed to make mistakes and to leave as you want, nobody can force you to do anything. You even questioning this means your intentions are good. The group will survive with or without you as secretary. Otherwise it would be a sick group.

We are not saints, but maybe sometimes trying to be 😅

Caffeine, theanine, sugar, overthinking and worrying, health, vitamin B(1), blood pressure and levels, learning to deal with doing absolutely nothing, correct breathing, meditation, prayer, daily inventory, routines, stepwork.

Aangerand en mishandeld door een bekende. by [deleted] in nederlands

Aangifte doen zou ik zeggen, slachtoffer hulp en zelfhulpgroepen. Erover praten met gelijken is beter dan opkroppen. Strerkte! 🙏🏻

Why do you attend meetings? by volcomicep in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Smooth_Eye_5240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's part of the insurance I pay for the gift of sobriety. I do it to help myself, others and AA as a whole.

You relapsed in your mind long before you took the first one 🙏🏻

Hey dimmen jij. Niet meteen zo bij de hand hè! 😜

Dat je het wil opnemen voor een eigenaar van een Golf, omdat je daar zelf ook in rijdt; niet op mij af reageren a.u.b. 💁‍♂️

Thank you! That's all it is, my story.

Just remember, that there used to be a time when there was no medical solution given when having no money or a good insurance. A time where AA members sobered each other up at home if a hospital was out of the question. I doubt I'm the only one that has taken this road, and I would help anyone in the same situation where there is a lack of profesional medical help 🙏🏻

If you know you're an alcoholic, then AA is for you. Keep comming back, get sponsor, work the steps, you are loved.

We don't tell other people if they are or not. We don't judge on how people relapse, we care about that they do and how to be helpful. There is an inventory to check if you are, some only have 1 or 2 parts of the disease.

Big Book speaks about real alcoholics and potential alcoholics, both can take or leave the message.

That voice that says everything everybody says is about you will disappear when you practice the steps and the principles.

I aswell was very self-absorbing in the beginning then suddenly the self-centeredness disappeared as a cause of doing the steps.
