What does it mean to be a Free Agent according to AA?
Good Afternoon Everyone!! I have a very important to ask all of you. What does it mean to be a free agent according to Alcoholics Anonymous? I want to inform all of you that my AA Sponsor parted ways with each other since last week. Usually, I feel like cussing him out for departing with me. I cannot do that right now because I have to pray for him. You know something, I have to pray for people who hurt or injure me in any way. I want to inform all of you that some people who get fired from a Sponsor tend to get drunk or high again. In my case, I continue to attend AA Meetings, abstain from drinking & smoking week as well as avoid all trouble.
Next, I want to inform all of you that it is not very easy not having a sponsor. It is his fault for accusing me of not being reliable. I want to inform everyone that I have a job to do just like he does. This is my job. My job is to keep my viewers informed about my progress. I want to allow everyone to pray for me because I am struggling physically right now. I do have a good positive outlook, in spite of being a free agent in Alcoholics Anonymous. You know something, I feel at this time, I should become a full time sponsor and blogger.
Further, I want to tell everyone that I do not feel sad because I have been available for him during the past 5 years. What he did not understand is that I have to get my rest and definitely stay out of trouble. I want to tell everyone that I have been blogging about my personal life. Sone have told me not to let my viewers know about my progress. I will get a sponsor very soon. I feel that I need to take care of business by staying out of trouble and doing what is right. I do need another AA Sponsor. I need a sponsor who knows the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and understand what it is like to have a mental illness as well.
Moreover, I want to inform everyone that I have a nurse and a nurse aid. I want to let everyone know that I am taking my medications as prescribed by all of my doctors. I know that it is not very easy for me having Schizoid Affective Disorder and Bipolar 1. My substance abuse history is in remission. I am taking my medications each day and night. As far as being a free agent is concerned, it is like waiting for a team to pick them up when they are on waivers. In my case, I have to plead my case to someone that I really do not know. I have to introduce myself and complete the 12 Steps all over again.
In Addition, I want to tell everyone that I have to read the Alcoholics Anonymous all over again. I have to attend meetings across town as usual. I know that it is not very easy telling another alcoholic that I need a sponsor. I want to tell everyone that I am a person with a mental illness as well. I have to do what is right. I have to seek help from another alcoholic all over again. I have to change my schedule all over again. A free agent is someone who is waiting to be claimed off waivers again, at least that is my definition of a free agent.
Also, I have to do what this person tells me to do. When it comes to the AA Fellowship. I want to inform everyone that I have been clean and sober for 27 years right now. I really feel that I have a whole lot to prove to God, Jesus Christ, and mankind. I want everyone to please pray for me. I will admit that I have a lot of physical illness and a mental illness as well. A healthy mind is a wealthy one. What I am trying to say is that if a person is healthy, they are capable of making a great deal of money and become a success in the future.
In Summary, I want to inform all of you that a free agent is someone who is waiting to be claimed off waivers. I have to always remember that I am a recovering alcoholic and a person who have a mental illness. I am a person who cannot continue to work this program all by myself. I am a person who is always in need of help. I know that it is not very easy for me to work this program all by myself. I cannot do this alone. I am yearning and craving for another person’s assistance in Alcoholics Anonymous. I am still a man who is always needing help from the AA Fellowship or a Fellowship of my choice.
In Conclusion, I want to tell everyone that I am a man who is seeking the help of another human being in order to survive in the Fellowship. I know that I have a very long way to go in my personal life. I have to get out of free agency right now because I have to do what is right. I am a man who has common sense and intelligence. I want to inform everyone know that I have been living back in my own hometown for 8 years now. One more other thing is that I do not hear any voices anymore. I want to inform everyone that I have a positive outlook on life, even though I do not have an AA Sponsor. I will do what is right and just in order to make it in life. I am a man who has been through a whole lot in life. I love all of you very much. Please take care of yourselves.
Faithfully Submitted,
