good meeting on step 1, was supposed to be 10, couple newcomers so back to basics. I remember being stuck at step 1 for over 6 years, torture, dry drunk, refused to come to believe in a power greater than myself, now I'm drowning in a new love I've never felt, my mental health issues have damn near vanished and my buddy a christian tells me I'm engaging in devil worship. ffs, can't afford a resentment. but if I said that to him he'd never talk to me again. he said, you won't change my mind and I won't change yours, so best we can do is pray for each other, my brother I would never try change yours. I trust the path you're on is right for you.

wait what? Devil worship?
yep. I think he's mad I've found a shortcut to spiritual sanity, can't accept my idea of Gaia, mother nature, as a hp. so I just laid out my experience with the church, I like the love thy neighbour stuff, but that msg never got to my pew, it was all fire and brimstone, hated sundays, god and the adults who lied to me, never felt love in there. to me that was devil worship. why do they always look down when they pray I look up. I do not know buddy, it's my first day on earth everything's all new and exciting. with my spirit healed the mind and body followed, until today my ego came in hot. so 3 and 7 prayers, sick man's prayer, I'll be ok just had a resentment I couldn't shake. we can't afford resentments
