Don't forget to get to meetings and work the Steps, 'k?

Someone also needs to tell him that "adult beverages" are a no-no. I hope he is working some kind of program, especially with all that is happeing around him.

He never, and I mean, NEVER speaks about his recovery. I know I am so involved with mine that the topic comes up in my conversation occasionally, and here on FR when a topic comes up related to addiction and recovery. Going to a meeting a day and calling my sponsor 1-2 times a day will put recovery in the forefront of your mind. Of course, it helps my sponsor is my bestest bud now. :o)

But Rush never speaks of it at all. Nor do I hear the language of recovery ever come from his mouth. It's quite clear to this addict that -- at the risk of taking his inventory -- he's not working the program. And you've got to work it to make it.

There are rare people who can abstain without working the program. I even know one or two. But they are NOT in recovery and NOT trying to get personal development or live their life by spiritual principles. Their choice, and one fellow I have a big resentment against, so I'm actually pretty cool with that one. ;^)

PS: I know, I know: "Resentments are like peeing your pants. No one feels it but you."
