WARNING: delusions once exposed can never be rebuilt
This warning is for both those people who are for and also for those people against the 12 step program and ESPECIALLY for those who are new to their 12 step group and aren’t sure which way to go……….
If you love the 12 steps, you might wish to stop reading this blog. Once this information gets in your head, you cant go back. (see matrix link below)
Or on the other hand,
if you are one of those who are new to recovery and its time to do that 4th step, heed this warning. Once you “uncover and discover” that deep down hidden stuff inside you - that “and discard” part IS NOT GUARANTEED to work. Well let me rephrase that. AA DOES guarantee that “uncover, discover and discard” will work. I am telling you that is bullshit. It might happen. All three parts might occur for you. But better for you that you never do this step than to do it and not get the ‘discard” part to work!
And where you DON’T WANT TO BE is here: in a life where you did follow the directions and have “uncovered and discovered” but the discard part wont happen.
To borrow a phrase, “Self-knowledge availed us nothing”. THAT I AGREE WITH 100 PERCENT! When self confidence is not available, delusions are a welcomed substitute.
Delusions unexposed are as powerful as the truth. In fact, one might argue there is no actual difference between unexposed delusions and the truth.
the writers of the movie, The matrix said it best, so read the following script excerpt:

As the Texans say, “That bell cant be unrung”………
I just wanted to post this early on in my blogs life so you folks were given fair warning. If your life is wonderful with the fellowship of the spirit and the AA 12 step recovery program, you shouldn’t continue reading this blog.
All I am promising you is the truth. Nothing more*.

well almost nothing more - I need money - can you send me some?

yeah I can just edit my post since its my blog, but heck its the blogs first comment so ………
For clarification to those thinking about the 4th step - how this warning applies to you (in clearer terms) is this:
You spent a LONG time burying all the shit deep inside you. And you never even knew you were burying anything, did you? No matter what you think you remember, LOTS of things are currently not even close to being remembered. if you do the 4th step and the 6th step properly you are going to be exposed to the messy details of WHAT MAKES YOU TICK. The “why” of what you do and how you act. THATS is NOT necessarily good news. We’ll talk more about this “why not” in a future post.
