Doc, grant me the serenity to accept the posters I cannot change; the courage to give up all hope of EVER changing them, and the wisdom to shut up about it when I can't. Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn

- Emmy (2005)

Emmy!

One of the best posts I've read! If my printer was working, I'd print this and tape it to my desk.

Since DocJohn is apparently my "higher power", I guess ALL my posts to him are prayers! Eeegads! I'd better stop that immediately!

My humor never fails to annoy some people. I'm used to it! You can't please all the people....etc.

As long as he's got more bandwidth than any of us, yep, he's a higher power.

Oh Emmy............. Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn

I really wanted to cheer you good for that re-vised edition to the "Serenity Prayer" & still applaude you. After spending over half of life in A.A., NA, EA, OA.......I can appreciate the nice twist! Loved it! Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn

BUT, that's where the ball stops against the acceptability of your comment that "Doc John being your Higher Power"????

TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE!!!!!!I find no humor in the sickness of that statement. Granted, I have a pretty "sick" sense of humor, too........but you HAVE to draw the line somewhere!!
AND it stops HERE & NOW! As a lifetime AAer, you just don't realize how morally "bent" that is....sorry Emmy........Yea! on number#! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on #2!

For the right's of the emotional psyche', I'm going to pretend I never read it.....maybe you just have to be an old AA hag like me to see the sickness of that statement? Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn Emmy's Prayer to DocJohn

Although it is a cute little switch up..
And I know I have some backpeddling to do over my inappropriate posting about DocJohn...
Let's not forget...the posters are here because they have issues. They do not deal with life on a level that a forum site for current events, let's say, would have posters deal.
So, although I started some things I wish I didn't...let us please not forget we, the posters, are here battling many mental issues.
Thanks.

Dayzee, i've known Ems for a long time and i am certain that she meant no disrespect. she was trying to break up all the fighting and negative things that were going on and she was using her brand of humor. i suggest that you use the PM system for posts like the above. thank you, pat

As I said, "My humor never fails to annoy some people. I'm used to it! You can't please all the people..."

I actually brought my poem to my home meeting last night, and all my AA pals laughed.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on my sense of humor!

Take care. emmy
