Wait! I Need Somebody!

Wait:  To delay movement or action until some event or time; to remain in readiness. 

I am intermittently grateful for what I have in The Fellowship vis-a-vis the ability to talk to other men who are often as whacked as I am.  Not always grateful, of course, but it strikes me from time to time.  As I consider more carefully my Director friend - the talented control freak - who has no release mechanism for outrage and frustration that can remotely compare to what I have in recovery I'm struck by what a blessing it is to be able to walk the fine line between action and inaction.  So many situations in my life resolve themselves when I stop trying to resolve the holy shit out of them by myself.  It's not in my nature to wait - it's in my nature to force the square peg through the round hole even if I have to break out the trusty sledgehammer to make it fit.

The only tool I need is a sledgehammer.  It cures all ills.
