My friend asked and I’ll try…
My first thought relating to how pride aims at the destruction of others comes from the term “character assassination.”
Suppose for a moment that you’ve worked on a project for your company for months finally arriving at what you believe in your heart is a magnificent piece of work.
Your co-worker has […]
The title of today’s Daily Reflection is Pride. Without going into detail, this reading is very appropriate for me right now! I really like what it says because it truly nails the subject and transcends pitiful and pathetic injustices.
“For thousands of years we have been demanding more than our share of security, prestige, and romance. […]
This post is worthy of repetition. It recently came to the attention of a number of us that a gal in New York with 19 years clean in NA is “back out there.” She is loved by many, and knowing that she’s killing herself is being felt by those she helped. As yet, none of […]
This is only one of them but it sets the theme…
From The Language of the Heart: Bill W’s Grapevine Writings, page 263;
“There are, nevertheless, certain occasions where reckless truth-telling may create widespread havoc and permanent damage to others. Whenever this seems possible, we are likely to find ourselves in a bad jam indeed. We shall […]
Drop me on my head!
I recently listened to some smart ass who arrived at a meeting late, listened to a couple of folks who were on topic, then spoke out to make the assinine statement that God certainly has dropped him on his head in order to get his attention.

Ah, I suppose its just […]
I met the woman who became my wife in a bar. In those days she drank, a lot. Then we got married…

Take The Cotton Out Of Your Ears! AND - Put It In Your Mouth!
There are a lot of old phrases that meant quite a bit to folks like me that I rarely hear anymore. This is one of them.
Do you take offense to such a saying? If you do, the odds are good that you’re […]
That’s right! By telling on his/her disease and being truthful, the oldtimer manipulated the topic at yesterday’s meeting…
You were given cause to think, develop an answer based in the Twelve Steps, and respond accordingly. Did you?
Or, did you believe that the oldtimer was okay, didn’t truly need your help, wasn’t looking for an answer that […]
At the beginning of Step Four we found that “Creation gave us instincts for a purpose. Without them we wouldn’t be complete human beings.” Now, at the beginning of Step Five we’re told;
“All of A.A.’s Twelve Steps ask us to go contrary to our natural desires… they all deflate our egos. When it comes to […]
Yeah, I’m sure many will say they are… and I’d be tempted to refer them to the poem JJ shared with us in a recent post.
Self-delusion. Masks.
Of course! Some truly are! How about you?
“We are convinced God wants us to live happy, joyous, and free.” Why did they feel compelled to say this in our […]
