Perception

We have a disease of perception. My brain will tell me that the next indicated step is a brilliant idea. My sponsor has taught me that if 'I' 'think' that I have a 'good' idea I need to call him and that if I think I have a great idea I need to call 3 other fellow addicts and ask them what they think of my great idea. Usually when WE discuss my 'great idea' WE decide that I am crazy.

My friend is still in deep trouble. However we are doing the footwork. We have seen too many people recently who are jumping on the band wagon of guilty without a trail by his peers. Should anyone of us, because of our addiction, end up in jail with serious charges against us, my prayer would be that we are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Again that disease of perception keeps showing up for us. I do not judge my friend. Friendship is forever, not just a fleeting thought for the moment.
