i am responsible for what??
posted: Sun, Aug 8, 2004 04:29:52 PM
you mean to say that i cannot let my sponsor make my decisions for me? i cannot blame the program for my sh!tty life when i choose not to follow suggestions? i cannot whine and moan when things go badly because i choose to live in the problem?
actually i can do all the above but i will not grow or progress. i will remain right where i am, getting just what i have been getting -- everything i do not want: pain, misery and sicker.--
i do need to take the responsibility of my life and recovery into my own hands anddo the next right thing
whatever thst happens to be today

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) All things are produced by the Tao, and nourished by its outflowing
operation. They receive their forms according to the nature of each,
and are completed according to the circumstances of their condition.
Therefore all things without exception honour the Tao, and exalt its
outflowing operation.
