My Sponsor Told Me

MY SPONSOR TOLD ME

That I should begin praying out loud so I could hear the bull**** I was laying down.

That if I wanted to experience true humility I should try praying in the nude.

That ain't today. Whenever I started to worry about yesterday or project tomorrow she would bring me back into the twenty-four hours I was in by saying "That ain't today drama Queen ".

That clean time is like baseball. He said that when you are on a winning streak (pink cloud) you should work twice as hard so that when the slump inevitably comes, you will be on good footing.

That if I wanted what she had, I was going to have to do what she did to get it.

That I needed to quit pole-vaulting over mouse turds.

That all I had was today because EVERYTHING else belonged to God.

That my mind was like a parachute in that it couldn't work properly unless it was open.

That if I wasn't carrying the message I must be spreading the disease.

That if I would take the cotton out of my ears and stick it in my mouth for the first ninety days or so, I might accidentally learn something that would help me stay clean .

That if I lay down with dogs, it was inevitable that I would get up with flees.

That if I was so Freaking smart, what did I need her for?

That there were only two kinds of sponsors: the kind I wanted and the kind God wanted me to have.

Really like this, worth a re-read. Certainly give pause for thought.

A meeting is a God Village. How can you not help but feel better. The Spirit of our God is in each of us, that is how I learned to identify instead of compare.

I was told to find a sponsor who had what I wanted. That meant that just about anyone qualified for a sponsor. I was an empty vessel and needed lot of spiritual food and help.

My sponsor tells me to work my program. You know what to do. Do it!
