1. When you say that you’re not a real alcoholic
2. When you’re just making small talk
3. Having the “Higher Power” talk
4. When you want to stop after step 3
5. When you cross talk at meetings
6. When the coffee is late
7. When you struggle with the 4th step
8. When you make excuses for your relapse
9. When you realize he’s a literal f**cking Jedi at the moral inventory
10. When you actually say something smart
11. When the truth hurts
12. When he takes your 5th step
13. When you complain about all the god talk in AA
14. When you show up to the meeting hungover
Don’t lie. You’d show up for every AA meeting.
Yoda would be a kick-ass sponsor in alcoholics anonymous. His little green eyes could see straight through your bullshit, but he’s always going to have your back when the battle starts. Bonus – He can sense a disturbance in your recovery before you start to feel the cravings hit.
Would you have the guts to ask him?
I found some other people connecting Jedi wisdom and sobriety that you might enjoy
- The 12 Steps according to Star Wars
- Another blogger reads the 12 Steps from a Jedi perspective
- Sobriety, Introspection, and Star Wars from the FIX blog
I just woke up not feeling to good. This just made my day ‘cus I can’t stop laughing. it’s starting to hurt!
Yoda is the best. He doesn’t take our self-pity shit. Thanks for reading.
I don’t do the NA or AA thing but then of course I am not an alcoholic. I am a heroin addict and my route to absolute abstinence was MAT. Yes, I am a firm supporter in methadone maintenance – if used correctly. (Another Story) Point being, (sorry i got off track) If I were to do a 12 step program, Yoda would be the absolute perfect sponsor without a doubt. Maybe if he was my past sponsors, I would have gotten NA. lol sharing this on my blog’s fb page. Thanks Tony
I don’t have a problem with anyone’s pathway to get recovery right. The outcome matters – freedom from addiction.
I thought about Gandolf too. His pipe weed might be a safe way to walk off opioid addiciton. Just throwing that out there. I always thought it was just magic tabacco.
I’d join any program with Yoda leading the meetings !
