Greetings,
i just wanted to give a shout out to all my friends here and say thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
First, i'm blessed to report that my sponsor is doing well. He's been back at work the last few days, but i would like to ask those who've been praying to continue to do so, as he begins a regimen of chemotherapy and radiation treatments tomorrow.
Next, i want to thank all of you who've been dropping by my page to leave notes in spite of what some consider to be my obnoxious taste in music (i had to get "sick of life" before i became willing to embrace a new one). Those small gestures bring a light to my day that is truly a healing blessing.
i almost wish i could write here the whole of my experience with these types of things, but i am a verbose "in-duh-vidual," and no one would read that stuff anyway.
i will say one thing more ... someone asked why i don't comment on many of the blogs i read here.
As a recovering codependent, yes i have opinions, tons of them, and considering the insignificant weight of the average amount of brain chemicals that are activated by my thinking, that's saying something.
It is far better that i not express too much of my poop, as that poop is more efficiently delt with in conversation with mentors, accountability partners, my sponsor, my friends and sponsees, and in sometimes in meetings, than it is by a direct projection upon an individual here.
The Traditions in my life (my opinion is that they're not just for the group) tell me that it is better i not express opinion on issues not directly related to my recovery, so that I might avoid certain controversies.
i won't step into the "black and white thinking" that would prohibit me from ever expressing things like that, as that would contradict the working of of the twelfth step. i'll just say the Traditions, especially the 10th Tradition, protect us from each other, and that is a good thing ... plus i'd never get my homework done.
e-hugs
