Humor...


The Thirteenth Step...

"My life is completely unmanagable, I am looking for a job, but haven't had any luck in the past 3 years, I have a nice ten speed bicycle, and live in a half way house.  A local church and social services help pay my rent.  I have good friends that pitched in to buy me a hair cut, and body deoderant yesterday.

When I saw you last night I fell in love.  I want to share my whole life with you.

We can move slow if you'd like and I'd settle for taking you to a movie, you pay and I'll pick you up, if riding on handle bars doesn't bother you.

Love always, 

The one that winked last night...

PS.  I have a friend that has a Volkswagon so if you decide you'd like me to live with you I can get all my stuff moved free.

What year Volkswagon is that?  LOL Very very funny John.  My first mental reaction and one that use to occur to me in very early recovery was, "It could happen..."  I've done 13s before as I'll bet a few other MIPers have also.  The start is always exhilarating and the end always higher education in humility.   Laughing is good!!  Mahalo ((((hugs)))) smile

As a somewhat newcomer (a year +) to Al-Anon, I had to laugh because I would be the one handing over my phone number, the passwords to my bank accounts, and asking "the one who winked" to watch my kids tonight because he seems like such a sincere and nice guy.

Thanks for the 13th step laugh and warning.

LOL - though having seen this literally happen several times - It's more like "Yep-that's pretty much the way it works."

A little too close to my story to not include a big eye roll with my smile and laugh.
