Quote of the Week

"If you still have some plans left, they suck, and you'll use them."

I hear some people share regularly at my Tuesday night meeting, and they always wish the newcomers one thing - desperation. At first this seemed harsh to me but I realized that if I hadn't hit complete bottom, I, too, would have used any plans I had left.

When I was new my sponsor asked me what my back pocket plans were and I told him: "If this doesn't work for me in 90 days, I'm selling my house, cashing in my Keogh, and moving to England to buy, operate and live above a pub." I was dead serious. He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Keep coming back." And I did.

Today I'm thankful that was the only plan I had left. I know it would probably have killed me, but I had reached such a bottom it didn't matter. If you're new I hope you're out of plans, desperate, and ready to give the program everything you've got. I guarantee you, it's the best plan you'll ever have.
