Anyone ever notice how embarrassingly self involved blogs are? I realize that this is pretty ironic considering I'm writing it on a blog ALL ABOUT ME that basically no one else reads. But, come to think of it, most of the internet is like that. Twitter updates all of your adoring fans about what you ate for breakfast, Formspring is a tool for all of your admirers to anonymously gush over you, and - let's be honest - people primarily use Facebook for updating their profile pictures and adding quirky things to their "Info" boxes in vain hope that it shows up on their secret crush's feed. There are plenty of other things, too, but I can't think of them. So let's just say the internet is a big showcase for how awesome you are. And before you (yes, you, nonexistent reader) call me a hypocrite, I'm self-aware. I have a Formspring and a Facebook, and a goddamn blog nobody reads (Twitter's too insufferable and lingo-y and confusing for me). Wanna know why I have those things? Because I care about what people think of me. Not as much as some people I know, but I'm curious to hear Anonymous' unconstrained, poorly-typed opinion of me. And I want to show certain people that YES! WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!! PLEASE SPARE ME A PASSING GLANCE!! WE COULD BE LOVERS!!!!!!
But at least I can admit it. That's the first step.
whats the second?
ReplyDeletewaaat?!
ReplyDeleteafter you can admit it, what comes next?
ReplyDeleteoh haha.
ReplyDelete1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
It's a not-very-funny play on the original AA twelve steps
