"privilege problems"

I heard about some group of problems, gratitude problems? Gift issues? Something like that. Their problems we face in sobriety that we wouldn't even dream about having while drinking. Example: "my boss is an unfair jerk" it's a gift problem because when we were drinking we probably couldn't even hold a job. Anyway, here are some I thought were funny: http://www.livememe.com/a/8y15l6p

of course my favorite is "Not enough cookies in My Ice Cream" ...

There's a simple solution Roger; require them to give more. Actually, I think they have to by law. If not, the cookie police can help. Their number is 1-800- cookies in case you forgot. Maybe you shouldn't by that cheap ice cream anymore, just a suggestion

 Of course you identified with the 'Pee' analogy ... (I hate when that happens ... problem is, it don't happen much anymore :( ... well, that particular problem any way ...)

Oh, and I can't depend on the cookie Police, so I just add the ones I want to my cheap Ice Cream ... Oreo's are especially good with ice cream ... at least last nite's were ... 

If ice cream wasn't bad enough, now you bring Oreo's into the mix. Well, there goes my diet. Thanks again Roger...mad.gif

I've heard them called 'high class problems'.

Made me stop and think when I first heard that.

Yeah, I'm doing alright after all.

Thanks rob for fixing that for me. :)

Frodo, it made me stop and think when some one said "when ever ihear someone complaining, all I hear is "happiness isn't worth any inconveniences"

and also "my worst day sober is still better than my best day drunk"
