I knew it was literature I had heard before Wolfie. I was just being dumb. Why did you edit the post out? It's actually valuable as I am guilty of that behavior and I guess most of us are to some degree.
Oh, I see you got in a disagreement on another thread. C'mon Wolfie - if we all just walked away when that happened that would be lame. Furthermore, if you really believe in your own message, keep stating it. When you just bolt, that suggests you are guilty of something.
I like your posts and don't give a crap about you sponsoring women but that's just me because I don't understand you hetero's in that regard anyhow. I guess I couldn't sponsor anyone cuz my attraction lies towards males but the opposite sex is off limits for me to sponsor...Shrug.

Actually, I was being sarcastic. I was hurt and offended by the comments that were made on a previous post in reference to me being a 13-stepper and a sexual predator. And I reacted poorly. I am not going to justify or explain how I do my 12th step work. But, in keeping with the suggested guidelines for this board I also will refrain from drawing attention to it. Thanks again mark.
My sponsor suggested I read page 62 in the big book and I did. I'm not going to run away.

Good point Mark. I think about that all the time, cuz I've thought of asking some of the gay males in my town when I couldn't find a female.
I thought Wolfie sounded sarcastic in his post and told him to delete it! Which I have no right to do. I just didn't want him to come across poorly, just like I wouldn't want you to if you wrote something out of frustration, because we say things we wouldn't normally say then. But he has a right to vent, and it is valuable... sorry to both of you. I need to learn to "care" in a less controlling way. There is a lesson in everything. Thanks!

FWIW my comment on the matter was a general one. I made no judgement of you. I don't know you or know how you do your thing. I don't even have an opinion on the gender / sponsor thing except that I'm going to stick with the suggested manner as it seems to work the best. I do have a very strong opinion on 13 stepping but I wouldn't accuse someone of it unless I saw it happen. Apols if it looked otherwise.
As to the question. Hmmmm. Sometimes. With my estranged wife I do. I have a big resentment there but I don't show it to her. She'd only see the helpful, smiling me.
I need to work on that. I really do. It's not good for me and I know I'm better than that.
*sigh*
I think maybe I haven't fully forgiven myself and that is why I still hurt and feel the need to blame. Still protecting my own ego. Still trying to run the show. Still trying to do things my way.
I think I'll discuss this at tomorrow nights meeting and see if that helps.
