(((Sweetie))),

There aren't 'types of people' that do good group! Please fire your 'pit-crew'!

Armed with honesty, and a plan for what you want to get out of it, do group, and do it with gusto! I know you can. Your hesitance is that you think you've heard it all before. Well, this is the bone I want to pick with you. It's about vanity!

I was arrogant (vane-ignorance). I had a bachelors degree and I knew lotsa words and lotsa ways to say them.

So?

I didn't know how to get out of my own way, so I was a mess and didn't know it. I found the difference between control and management in group. I had to wait my turn and I wasn't allowed to give advice or mention someone elses 's**t' while I shared my 's**t'! My controlling nature was stifled, and I had to...........listen! (not just hear)

I learned how to share... I learned compassion... I learned that my worst 's**t' was somewhat angelic, meaning I was so messed up and entangled in my own 's**t', I couldn't see my own goodness for what it was, me!!!

Like I've said before, I'm here learning how to tell my story as I did in the 12 step groups, only with fewer and fewer and fewer words!

BTW, I'm done with my part of the bone.....lol
