|...this week will end it - I am now free to travel elsewhere for meetings. Somewhere in our literature is says that '...while I was judging myself by my intentions, the rest of the world was judging me by my actions'. Truly some egregious things were done to me there, and I have not rebuked my transgressors, though it was my right to do so. However, the week ain't over yet.
Though my sponsor's 90 day 'sentence' to that clubhouse is not over from me quite yet, I am already light years ahead of where I was when I started there. Though I can honestly say that I've witnessed and experienced some truly depravaed manifestations of untreated alcholism (ME ME ME ME ME ME), I can also say that this has been - bar none - the greatest learning experience in all my years in AA. First and foremost I am a better carrier of the our message - not a great one yet, but a better one.
Lastly, it has been proven to me yet again that as long as the book Alcholics Anonymous is available, you can get sober anywhere, even in the most sordid spot on earth.
Though I am certain that it is necessary and proper for that clubhouse to be delisted from the local meeting list (real alcholics are getting hurt there) it's not my business. I get to simply vote with my feet and move on.
God bless us all, every one.
