Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 It is a lonely role, that of a freethinker... it's amazing how spread out we all are...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Hi Apple. I think it would be wonderful to be together as a group at a convention. Just a daydream. We could have our own little table at the banquet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - and I suggest we go to the meeting my soon to be ex-husband chairs at the AA club. I assure you, it is full of guru's, 13 steppers, marriage wreckers and the buses unload the treatment center kids there all the time. Besides that, I think it would be cool if we could all meet face to face and really share our experience, strength and hope. At the restaurant the steppers go after the meeting to back stab everyone that was at the meeting but isn't at the coffee after meeting.

I propose a change to the name for the millenium convention... " Pass it Over in the 21st Century " What do you think? or " Please Pass the Potatoes in the 21st Century " At least potatoes have nutritional value...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Oops. I mean the NRL. I am a wackadoo. Can't even get the initials right. Is that because I have been appointed a devil's advocate by our new friend of Bill W, ? I wonder why these fine program folks waste their time going to a site on 12 step free..... Oops, let me check one more thing. Nope. Not a lesbian. Sorry, . By the way, .... Are you saying the Gay and Lesbian AA Groups are not welcome in the folds of AA's warm, (read suffocating) embrace???????? Kathy the Wackadoo. I like that. I was going back to my maiden name in December when the divorce is final. However, a think a new, fresh name is in order. I have been casting around for something appropriate. I used to love the name of my street in Hawaii, Hahaione. It always required an intelligent response of " huh " or something equally impressive when I was giving my address over the phone. So I thought Kathy Hahaione was good. But now I think Kathy Wackadoo. I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Kathy, If I hear of my soon to be ex beloved going, we'll get ourselves a ticket to go together!! We can get pamphlets made up to expose the hypercritical guru's. Were I to follow the AA procedure of admitting I have a king-size resentment against the guy, I'd have to 'let go' of my anger, pray for him and do a 4th step. What they don't understand is this anger protects me from being manipulated anymore into doing what he wants. It protects me from the heartache of this whole matter. It protects me from his " I want you back " to his " Wait a second, I don't want you back " and back again flip-flops. I know there are women in the rooms who are reaching out to this poor poor baby and believing his lies and anger keeps me from having to sit there watching it all. Course in AA I'm supposed to be superhuman and rise above it all, above cruelty that would turn a Mother into a madwoman. Anger keeps me from falling for the pack of lies again. Anger gets my brain out of hock!!! Jan Jan Re: 's challenge >I love that! The NCR. Sign me up.
