It is all well and good to post inspirational quotes and talk about how much recovery has given you but it is a whole other thing to actually show up to a meeting and participate in your recovery and to give back to others what has been given back to you. I heard a friend talking about how he was jealous of how happy people are on here. Well the truth is that anyone can portray their lives on here anyway they want. Just beacause someone posts happy pictures and talks about how great their life is, doesnt make it true. Same thing goes in recovery. I can post quotes and shit all day but the people who I surround myself with know if I am really walking the talk. I have noticed that it is only the people who dont know that likes and comments on these posts. The people from your home town (homegroup) know you are full of shit. The sad thing is if you call them on it directly then they will get their tender little feelins hurt and use you as an excuse to not show up. If anything I am saying is rubbing you the wrong way, then maybe its time to get your head out of your ass. You are not in recovery just because you can quote a speaker or a book. No one gives a shit how many steps you have worked when we are burying your ass. Show up, throw up, grow up or die. It is really your choice. Yes, I am powerless but I would not feel right about myself, not saying anything, when I am coming to your funeral. I will not be able to live with myself , having said nothing. In other words i would rather step on your toes, than your grave.
