Guest guest Posted July 11, 1999 Report Share Posted July 11, 1999 Thanks to everyone who responded to my post about making a decision and sticking with it. I'm sorry for not responding individually, but some days I just don't have the energy. Thinking a lot about making a choice and sticking with it, and about why it's hard. Apple's observation about coming from an authoritarian family makes sense for me, especially about being trained to obey. I believe that's why I chose to try and follow the 12 steps, even when I didn't fully believe they were right for me: because those who spoke of the 12 steps, spoke with authority. I respond to authority with obedience, although it is resentful obedience. There's more I want to say, I'm just tired today and can't really figure out how to say it all. judith _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: /group/12-step-free - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
