When I first entered recovery, it seemed that everyone was talking in riddles.  My sponsor one moment was telling me to let go, and a few minutes later telling me to hang on... (man, was I a baffled drunk)

When I asked a question he would give me an answer that didn't seem to have anything to do with the question... another riddle.  When I heard whats below it reminded me of how far from the mark I thought my sponsor was in the beginning, only to later find out he was right on.

A man goes to see a doctor. "Doc, I have sorta a problem that well, isn't really a problem and wanted to know what you think could be done about it."  The doctor, asked, "whats the problem?" Describe it to me, and we'll see what can be done."

Well, I pass gas alot.  I mean I really pass it big time.  I can be doing something, or be doing nothing and poof, there it is!"  It really bothers me how often this is happening.  And there it is!  It doesn't make any noise at all, and it doesn't stink, not even a little bit,  but non the less, I'm always passing gas.  What do you think we can do about it.?"

The doctor thought for a moment and then started writing on a pad.  "Well, the first thing we are going to do is order you an hearing aid, and the next thing we are going to do is examine and clean out your nasal passages."

The man looked at the doctor and puzzled, relied, "how does doing any of that help me?" 

The doctor replied, "it's not all about you, get over yourself.  Let's start here and do the work outlined, then review the results"
