"My best thinking got me here." - Louis P.
NOBODY IS TOO DUMB FOR RECOVERY, BUT MANY ARE TOO SMARTI got good grades in school. Growing up, I had three sisters, so
I was always outnumbered. I wanted to always be right. I know
this sounds ridiculous, but even when I was wrong; I tried to
convince them that I was right. I had the personality of a
know-it-all. I questioned everything. It took a lot of energy to
defend my so-called intelligence. One of my early experiences in
recovery was when my sponsor wanted me to become a breakfast
eater. He felt it was important that I learn how to eat sensibly.
A few hours after this conversation, I called and asked him, “how
do I become a breakfast eater?" The answer? Yes, you guessed it.
"Eat breakfast!" If you want to stay clean, don’t use drugs. That
is how simple it is.
"What is the difference between genius and stupidity? Genius has
limits." - Albert Einstein
