Lots of them think I'm cute and try to explain themselves later, but I just reprimand them in a teasing way about how people sometimes just need to have their say. <BR/><BR/>Of course, there are some folk who never shut upJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354890444410748967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-35690704908127821962008-12-11T10:07:00.000-05:002008-12-11T10:07:00.000-05:00I know EXACTLY who you are talking about!

But it is a reminder to me as well, because I can also get judgemental at meetings..and remind myself that instead of expressing it verbally or nonverbally, I need to pray for that person and for myself..to see and to hear what is really being said.Kathy Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808513070742589781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-57867767400831301492008-12-11T09:53:00.000-05:002008-12-11T09:53:00.000-05:00This post gave me pause.

But in blogging I feel I have experienced this kind of snickering & judgement. Which I thought was counter to everything that AA teaches. How do you expect an emotionally fragile wreck to come back to a place where one is treated that way. Thankfully, there are enough meetings, I Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-63530299576041455842008-12-10T22:37:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:37:00.000-05:00I GOT A FLUTTERBUY TAT TODAY yayyyyy lol just thou...I GOT A FLUTTERBUY TAT TODAY yayyyyy lol just thought i would let you know and i was sober this time my first two where when i was a teen young drunk and stupid lol <BR/><BR/>hugs amyAmysplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878088157409611047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-51640510879371297212008-12-10T19:51:00.000-05:002008-12-10T19:51:00.000-05:00There are no words to describe the amzing power of...There are no words to describe the amzing power of prayer!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781628960161310563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-24672024352287487352008-12-10T18:49:00.000-05:002008-12-10T18:49:00.000-05:00OH, the self appointed elders of the meeting.

Yep the ole prayer from the last page of Freedom from Bondage. It has kept my mouth shut when I just wanted to yell at some of those Bitches, praying stopped me everytime.

I used the prayer on page 552 of the big book. It took much longer than the stated two weeks for my attitude to change but eventually it did. I go back to that prayer again and again when I am bugged (eventually).<BR/><BR/>When I came back into the rooms, after nearly losing my sobriety of 18 years, I used to puff myself up and use as a Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045801745534184703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-43551666208779173212008-12-10T12:07:00.000-05:002008-12-10T12:07:00.000-05:00That's awesome Steve.

I experienced that in an Al-Anon meeting and decided that I didn't want to go back. But I also prayed for this person. I know that I still have a problem with being criticized. It's one of my character defects for sure. Thanks for this post. It is a good one.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-31014405617152491222008-12-10T11:25:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:25:00.000-05:00hiya honey pie - i would NEVA take you off my holl...hiya honey pie - i would NEVA take you off my hollywood squares!! hehemollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-57521757263446030112008-12-10T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:10:00.000-05:00Well Done Steve!Well Done Steve!Wait.

Secondly, I had this happen at my first home group and it was so disconcerting to me, I never confronted them, only prayed and it does work, today I see them and only pray for their happiness.

I've had resentment, unforgiveness, bitterness issues with someone in my past, and my husband gave me the same advice.. pray for them.. pray that they would be blessed more than you.
