“The two-year member who was called “the ostrich” (for reasons obvious to his sponsor and his creditors), only wanted to discuss his problems - when they reached the boiling point. His sponsor said they would follow him until he took action to confront them and be honest with them or live in perpetual discomfort and fear.”
Be grateful for your difficulties and challenges, for they hold blessings. In fact, … Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health, personal growth, individuation and self-actualization.
—Carl Jung
Most alcoholics owe money. We do not dodge our creditors. Telling them what we are trying to do, we make no bones about our drinking; they usually know it anyway, whether we think so or not.
