The Burden of Negativity

Posted: Friday, September 15th, 2006 @ 1:51 pm in 3 What it is like now, AA as a Hole | No Comments »

It has not been lost upon me that there is a cost involved with telling, retelling and reliving past negative experiences. Doing so makes them current negative experiences.

Lately I have gone back to attending the Saturday Night Speaker meeting. I dont attend it often nor regularly and when I am there, its almost always on a Saturday Night when I am bored. Saturday Night boredom is another of the gifts of the program I had received.
