Re: Looking Back Over The Past Year Day 153
I don't think you can call any thing an addiction. Religion, alcohol, drugs, gambling ...things are not the addiction. Some religious behavior could be an addiction, misuse of alcohol or gambling or drugs could be an addiction.

Re: Religious addiction?
It depends on how you do it. If it needs to be done at a time when you are expected to be in a meeting but instead must be on a prayer rug facing Mecca or if you need to have your serpent with you or make a burnt offering other than microwave popcorn sure it could be disruptive.

Re: Religious addiction?
NN writes: I take your comment to mean that generally speaking you agree that there is not all that much substance to the idea that one person praying is an imposition on another persons rights and that the real problem is extreme behavior of the type that would be a problem associated with any activity. Correct. Praying like gambling or eating or drugs or most any THING is not the addiction. When how you perform or use the THING interferes with normal behavior, with other people, with family, with work, with your health then that behavior can be the issue or addiction. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing...

Re: Day 236- A Bit Of Irrational Anger
Phat writes: Jar set me off. He always defends the rest of the world more than he does the US...just as he defended the Native Americans against us---going so far to suggest that if we were honorable we could give them back their land! I certainly don't want or intend to "set you off" and was certainly not defending the rest of the world but rather trying to point out reality. But what is really good news is that you now recognize irrational anger for irrational anger. That was not always the case and it's great that you are making such progress. Keep on keeping on.

Re: Relapse Blues
Get to a Psychiatrist. Not a Pastor, not a Counselor, not a Psychologist; a Psychiatrist. Seriously. Help is there.
