A friend from my rehab alumni group shared this meme in our private app. Days later I still can’t stop laughing at it! Probably because it reminds me of when I attempt to explain how I do anything in my life.
It got me thinking about sharing in AA meetings. I hear a topic or someone else speaking about a topic that really resonates for me, and I feel the burning desire to share. In my head all these things I want to share are formed perfectly and make complete sense. But when I open my mouth, I have no idea what the fuck I’m comes out, I’m sure it’s definitely not what I wanted to share. It’s still a very soothing feeling to share, but then I come home and have to write about what I actually wanted to say and ended up sounding like babbling idiot instead.
I know I’m not the only one this happens to because I’ve had this conversation with several of my friends who think they do the same thing. There are also times when someone shares and it’s obvious by their body language that they are frustrated with the lack of ability to speak coherently. You are not alone my friend; it can be really frustrating.
Regardless of what comes out of our mouths, sharing is caring! We should never stop, I know I never will. There’s a 50/50 chance a few of the words rambling out of my mouth will actually make sense. If nothing else, I’m always good for making someone smile and laugh!
