There is a Sunday morning meeting in my community that is very popular and that, being like I am, I haven’t attended in many months. But I didn’t have to work today, and I was up this morning, and I thought maybe I’d go. So I got on my scooter at a quarter to 11 and headed over to the Sunday Spiritual Meeting, only to find that it started at 10.
That’s fine. Really, I should be doing laundry anyway. But on my way home I stopped at my favorite coffee house for an iced mocha and ran into someone from the bad old days who I have seen bounce in and out of 12 step meetings for about a year now. Last time I saw him he was angry that someone in a meeting had problems that were bigger than his and he couldn’t make the meeting all about him. The fact that he said that at meeting level surprised me. I didn’t know he was capable of that kind of honesty. The fact that he stepped out of the meeting to call his dealer didn’t surprise me.
So we’re at the Flying M, having our coffee, and he’s obviously coming down, and we’re talking about the program. He asked, so I gave him some suggestions, and we’ll see. It wouldn’t hurt for me to be sponsoring someone new right now.
I also spent a little time with my friend Nikki, who told me to go home and throw away the homicidal mattress that wants me dead because she’s bringing over a new futon mattress when she gets off work at 4. “Being all powerful, He provided what we needed if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.”
I guess I’ll know how well I’m performing the work by how well I sleep tonight. LOL
