> After saying all that I said, I remembered this line from one of the readings, "Who is an Addict". "We are people in the grip of a continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions and death."

Yeah. I heard that one maybe... 3 or 4 or 5 times a day in drug treatment. We had 3 or 4 meetings per day. And group therapy was all about working through the therapists interpretation of 'the literature'. I should say that that particular program... Was closed down not too long after I went...

>> What on earth does confessing your sins to god have to do with your recovery?

> Not to god. In front of god. It's intended to promote sincerity.

Hmm. Could there be an alternative way to say that that that doesn't mention god? I mean... I considered... I had to give up my sincerety in order to do the step... By lying to myself...

> Question: Do you have a spirit?

Well now... It all depends on what you mean by 'spirit' Larry Hoover.

I am composed of cells. Trillions and trillions of cells. And cells are made up of elements, as I'm sure you know.

There isn't any non-physical soul stuff in my periodic table of elements, so if thats what you mean by spirit...

;-)

Yeah. I'm okay :-)
How are you doing?
