Most of my friends and family members know that I attend twelve step meetings. If you did not know, you do now. Down here in the south they refer to working or living the twelve steps as "doin' the deal". I never know for sure if "it" is working in my life. And sometimes I think I just don't get "it".
Today after a very spiritual Saturday morning meeting, a gentleman came up to me. He has forty plus years of continuous sobriety. I very much respect him and his program. He said to me, "I love listening to you talk. You remind me of my first sponsor."
He has said that to me before. I have always thought he meant my northern accent or the tone of my voice. He continued, "He was one of the most spiritual people I had ever met, too."
Whoa... I am just trudging down the road doin' the deal.
