I'm feeling today like that story, there was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
Not only is that lady kind of nuts, but the craziness gets bigger as things keep eating each other up, and bam the old lady is dead. I'm an alcoholic today. Not justadrunk anymore. I can see that now.
My mind is swelling around so much info. The grand size of AA, the depth of my disease, the minds at work, and all the years they've been working it... how much they must know...
I keep getting higher and higher, seeing more and more vastness, realizing more and more, there is more and more I don't know.
I don't want to stop climbing, it's all so facsinating.

Thanks for everything. Peace and Love on your journey.
It is pretty amazing how complicated our disease is and how simple the solution (program) is. And how much was are alike, even though we are vastly different people. So much so, that when we hear someone else speak about their experiences, it sounds like they've "been reading our mail".
Nice post Tasha! Learning and growing. That's what it's all about. Our purpose is to improve our understanding and effectiveness. The more I work The Program, the more I realize I don't know.
For me, the more The Program fascinates me, the more I'm positioned to improve my understanding and effectiveness. If it stops fascinating me, well I'm heading back down the slop toward a drink.
Life for me at one time just stool very still with the same old,same old. :{
While in the hospital we all were encouraged to take a walk outside. Me outside in the fresh air, in the sunshine and rain !
Thank you for reminding me of my early days when I would say for me it was just a wee moment a little step at a time. I too got stronger with the joys and miracles I witnessed with my own eyes and heart.
Today I grasp everything with both hands and heart for I too would not like to suffer my pains of '' standing still ''
Onwards and upwards :} I understand today I must always keep coming back because who know anything anyway ! I forget things so easy and its nice to continue to receive simple reminders. So many people remind me of so much :}
