somedays
Somedays I am the teacher, and somedays I am the student. And somedays I am both on that same day. Somedays I teach the lesson and on others I get to lesson. And somedays I have to be taught over and over again until I get the lesson.
It seems that I have more energy to apply at being the teacher than the student. But the funny thing is often when being the teacher I am also my own student. Do you hear what I am saying?
One thing is for certain if I fail to learn the lesson the teacher will be glad to repeat it. And just when I think I have learned the lesson a new teacher shows up and comes from a differant angle and the lesson I thought learned isn't learned at all. Oh but wait there is hope! I must have learned something as I did not stay in that class nearly as long and withdrew. Taking what I have learned through that experience and applied to the past experiences and eureka! I got it! And then it happens. When the red flags rise I see em right off the bat and slowly walk away.
Now, when I see others getting the same lesson what do I do? Do I let them know they are about to learn something that will leave a mark? Or do I let them walk on into that classroom and learn that lesson for themselves? I know the answer today, do you?
From A to Z and nothing addressed in particular, whatever comes to your mind is most likely a lesson your about to learn or not learn. If nothing changes, nothing changes.
I can claim all sorts of things and post all sorts of things, speak of spiritual things or things my sponsor has shared with me. I can copy and paste readings and quotes and links to all sorts of sites. But when the rubber meets the road what do I have if I have either ignored the lessons or admitted but not changed? I have little to gain traction with and will skid off the road.
If insanity is defined as repeating the same action expecting differant results then sanity must be not repeating those actions and and seeing differant results. That is something I could not do until I learned the lesson. And life has many lessons.
somedays I just ramble and neither teach nor learn a thing. Oh those must be the days when I am being selfish and in denial. LOL
It does say progress not perfection but if I am making no progress then why am I here? What am I not doing?
Do not drink.
Go to meetings.
Get a Big Book.
Get a sponsor.
Do the steps.
IN ORDER!
Stop the insanity!
