So I’ve Got A List. Willing??/Addiction Recovery/Life Balance   So I had a list of people I had harmed. Some of them were jerks. I am not willing right now to make amends. They did me more harm than I did them and some of them really deserved all that I did. I felt these feelings towards some on my list back then, and certainly was not WILLING to make amends to a few. This included an ex-wife who I was really pissed at over things that had happened when and after we split. I was indign... Read More

Are You a Cowboy or Indian? Cop or Robber?   When ever I go to a meeting and keep my ears open, I hear good and memorable stuff that make me remember and keep me humble. I’m sure it’s not politically correct to talk about indigenous people as “Indians”, but fact of the matter, when I was a kid, we played cowboys and Indians. If it sounds better, then call it cops and robbers. I heard someone today say that as a young person, he always played a cowboy but really knew inside he wa... Read More
