Thats the hapiness of being employeed I mean. I dont Zen that much these days. As I have mentioned many times before on the blog, I am back on the “new jersey blue collar” plan of action.

The Girl IS PISSED!
A woman recently posted this comment on my site. I thought she deserved to have the spotlight on this blog, so that comment is now an article.
My apologies
My apologies to you readers who are wondering where the heck are the new postings from harry. And unfortunately this is no more than an apology posting to my recent commenters.
Happy New Year - and where the hell have you been?
WOW, has it REALLY been since October that I last put out a post? Sorry about that gang. I never meant to let that much time go past before the next posting.
Since AA continues to grow, this blog must be wrong, right?
Alcoholics Anonymous has been around since the late 1930’s. Every year since the printing of its book in 1939, the fellowship has grown. AA can be found in literally hundreds of countries and on every continient. Whether or not you have ever been part of any 12 step fellowship, you would have to conclude that what ever this blog has to say against AA just has to be wrong. I mean that’s the only conclussion a reasonable person can come to, right?
Those who have thoroughly followed our path
Chapter Five of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is perhaps the most well known text within the AA Fellowship. It might even be well known outside of the world of 12 step fellowships. These are the opening words to the chapter known as HOW IT WORKS:
“Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program………….”
The Burden of Negativity
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. There is some wisdom in letting it go. So with my writing for this blog, in addition to getting to put my experience, strength and hope in writing, there also comes the burden of negativity.
The Saturday Night Speaker Meeting
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.
