an easier, softer way
Permalink  
 


I was at a meeting this morning...  and I told a guy that I am looking for an easier, softer way...   and I found it!   He was a great enabler!  He agreed with me, and gave suggestions!    I told him that I didn't want to be   that rigorously honest,,, and he told me I could compromise!  I told him that  sometimes I don't want to have to go to any lengths, and he told me to just do what I want to do. I told him that I don't want to have to work on myself too hard, and he told me I could focus on someone else and it would look like I was doing something.   He said the only problem would be in finding a sponsor that would go along with that...   well,,,,  I would have to get an enabler and decided that a 2 Stepper would be best at that...  


I'll let you know how it goes

Hey,, yeah...   Steps 1, 12, & 13!   (13 is getting romantically involved with someone else in the group, especially into a codependency that is going to threaten the recovery of both people)


I decided to look for a sucker..  ummm..  I mean sponsor now.   It has got to be a real special person..  one who is an expert in enablement,,,  who will tell me only what I want to hear,,  cuz I get upset easy and if you say something I don't like I might get upset and go out and drink or something.


Also one who has some money,,, cuz I need help with all these parking tickets, and speeding tickets.. 


Someone who will rescue me so that I don't have to face the consequences of my ummm   falls


Someone I can always depend and lean on...  someone willing to sacrifice his/her own life for me while I am recovering...   I get lonesome in the night so I'd like to call at 3:00 am,,  and I like to eat breakfast so someone who will buy me breakfast,,, cuz see I don't work right now, poor me


Anything else I should look for in a sponsor?
