And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.

Dale lives free!
Dale lives free!@DaleDalebarker4·
In 1994, was taken through steps 1-9 and God set me free from addiction to alcohol. He did for me just what He did for those 40 members of the Oxford Group that wrote the book Alcoholics Anonymous. I now live one day at a time in steps 10-12 so that I can stay free. I give back by taking others through the 12 steps the same way, because it makes me grow spiritually, and faith without works is dead! I know Jesus is real because I sought Him and He revealed Himself to me, so now I am not who I was! If you want what we have, and are willing to go to any lengths, you are ready to take certain steps. The spiritual life is not a theory, we have to live it!

Seamus McTier@SeamusMcTier·
“Spiritual, Not Religious”: The Ego’s Favorite Loophole It’s almost a cliché at this point, hearing someone in an AA meeting lean back in their chair, cross their arms, and declare with a kind of benevolent finality: Well, I’m spiritual, not religious. Which, if you’ve been around a while, is code for “I’m comfortable with the Steps as long as they don’t start making me look like the childhood religion, youth pastor, or pious relative whose way of doing things I’ve spent my adult life making sure I don’t resemble.” And every time I hear it, I want to say something — but I don’t, because I’ve learned that engaging in this topic in a meeting has the shelf life of unrefrigerated shrimp. Still, the irony is so loud it practically hums: the knock on “religion” is that it’s too rigid. But the dirty little secret of AA is that the Steps only work if you follow them in order, with discipline, and — here’s the part that actually makes people squirm — with rigorous honesty. Most AA's don't know the 12-steps resemblance to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola isn’t subtle. Inventory? Check. Confession to another human being? Check. Daily examination of conscience? Check. Seeking to align your will with God’s through meditation and prayer? Double check. Ignatius was basically running a 16th-century Big Book study — the kind where if you skip a step, you miss the point. And here’s where the disease gets sneaky: for those without the capacity to be truly honest, the fallback move is to quietly rewrite the program’s terms so it feels less like surrender and more like self-direction. “My recovery” becomes “recovery as I define it” — and problem solved, right? Except nothing’s solved. The onion doesn’t get peeled. The tootsie pop stays wrapped, because unwrapping it — and actually working your way to the center — would mean submitting to a process that starts to look suspiciously like a ritual of religion. And deep down, we already know what that would take, and we’d rather not see it. And this is where ego runs the show. We take someone else’s freedom as a threat to our control. We take someone else’s clarity as an accusation. We take someone else’s experience of God as a performance for our benefit. We take everything personally. I know because I used to do it. Someone would talk about God like they meant it — not vaguely, not safely, but directly. And I’d get uncomfortable. I’d think, Are they trying to convert me? I’d decide they were crossing some invisible line. But the truth was, I just didn’t like that they were free and I wasn’t. I didn’t like that they had something to hold on to, and all I had was suspicion. So I made it about them. Bill W. once wrote to Father Ed Dowling — the Jesuit priest who was, in effect, his spiritual sponsor — that guilt is really just pride turned inward. Pride and fear are the two sides of the same counterfeit coin, and the “spiritual not religious” pose can be just another way the disease keeps us from having to look at what’s really going on. Because here’s the thing no one says when they drop that line in a meeting: if you’ve got a problem with “religion,” you might want to brace yourself, because the very thing you think AA isn’t — structured, disciplined spiritual practice born from a religious tradition — is the exact soil it grew from. You don’t have to become a churchgoer. You don’t have to start quoting Scripture or join a denomination. But pretending this program isn’t deeply rooted in Christian spiritual practice — the kind that’s been lived, tested, and refined for centuries — is like getting sober on coffee and smokes and saying caffeine and nicotine don’t count. And while the Big Book makes room for people to start wherever they are, let’s be honest — if your “higher power” is a doorknob, or a coffee pot, or something else you picked because it’s harmless and won’t ever disagree with you — that’s not really higher. That’s still you calling the shots. And people who stop there? They usually don’t make it, because they never actually surrendered to anything beyond themselves. The Steps are rigid because they have to be. They aren’t there to fit our comfort zones; they’re there to break through them. They’re the chisel that chips away the calcified layers of self-deception until you reach that sticky center — the place where the truth lives, and the ego dies a little. The only thing we can be absolutely sure of is that most of the time our thinking is wrong. Maybe the goal isn’t to bend the Steps until they fit us. Maybe it’s to let them be as uncomfortably rigid as they were designed to be, long enough to unwrap the tootsie pop and finally taste the center. And if you’re thinking, Well, there goes Seamus, pontificating again. What does he know? — here’s what I know. I know that people who don’t “get it” on this point end up either dying a slow alcoholic or addict death, or they take the fast road with a bullet, a bottle of pills, or some other tragic ending. And I don’t want you to go through that. The disease wants you dead, and it doesn’t care how it happens. This much I know for sure.

@abantheseeker @zaro_21 @brutedeforce If you work like the Japanese work culture, than you work yourself dead in a bad way. But if you follow the philisophy of how brute it does. Than you can work 24 hours straight and does nothing to you

Chronic perpetual brain fog is a sign of peak performance. Mental clarity is for underachievers. So they can very clearly analyze how much they are missing out on.

My daughter was just born. Natural homebirth is goated. The war cry of a woman in labor will wring in your head for eternity. Confirms my theory women are internally as tough as men are on the outside. And men are internally as weak as women are on the outside
