How do you pick your battles Tanin? You like it here right? Been a member for many years. Don't you have enough sobriety now to not revel in disunity and conflict? Just wondering.
Pappy, thank you for deleting that thread, it had nothing to do with alcoholism, and was posted by some troll. Some people come on this board looking to save their life, and garbage like that has no place on an AA message board. I will never, ever understand why some people have to complain about everything. If you don't like it, take on the job of moderator, I hear the pay and benefits are great!!
It's all learning. We are all equals learning from each other... what we would do... what we wouldn't do. Loving each other gracefully and imperfectly through all of it. Loving through mistakes and misteps, leaps of joy, accepting what is, moving forward with a fresh start as an all loving hp would hope for us. No need to believe in anything in particular to believe in the power of treating self and others the way you would your own precious child learning to take its first steps.
We are all learning to take steps today in this new day in recovery.
We may have been in recovery before today but we have never been in recovery today before.
Xo love to all xo
