Johnny ,
It’s terrible to admit but the discussions between you and Geordie were compulsive reading and the subject matter meant great learning for the rest of us –
We all feel how we feel on a particular day – my last thread opened with about twenty conditions prohibiting people from contradicting me .
Work – I can hardly even say that word right now – in seconds my rewarding , fulfilling and daily disbelief about how privileged I am to have such a great career has disintegrated into bitterness and my mind is consumed with how I can be passive aggressive enough to let people know just how annoyed I am . I admire that you are looking for ways to improve – it is stark contrast to how I feel right now .
After reading another few pages of my book (lol) I can now state with confidence that the reason some GA groups are not so successful is that they do not focus on the steps – I mean they do not focus on explaining them and how to live them.
To be honest I liked GA cos I felt I wasn’t the only loser (literally ) in the world , but if someone did reference the steps it s was fleetingly . How can anyone follow the steps if we don’t know what the steps are and how to follow them.
I admit I am powerless – I knew that long before I set foot in ga- someone handing me a leaflet with those words written on it is not going to change my life . I think maybe some of the anonymous groups are so busy getting on with how wonderful they have been that week that they forget there are those of us who have no idea what the steps are or mean .
I think you would make a great sponsor. -go for it .
