Reply #76: But tavalon, my grandfather was a stubborn, ornery old cuss too! [View All]

:P

He was 6' 5" of tough, stubborn and ornery! He was a Boston Cop back in the day when they beat
the crap out of everyone that didn't go along with the program, including my father but my father
was not like that. Sure, he was also gruff but he was kind to everyone and he was brought up to
not trust AA's or anyone else that wasn't like him but he didn't follow his father's path. He changed
that and taught his kids to be open minded or at least tried to do that. He wasn't perfect at all and
was the product of those times (born in 1910) but he did make an effort and got better over the years.
You don't have to carry that guilt or that burden. You didn't do it and you are making changes today
and today is what counts!! Acknowledge it but then move on to making better days. That's the path to change.
