My First SA ("Socialists Anonymous") Meeting

.
Well, I am proud to say that I finally bit the bullet, owned up to the last 30 years of my life, and attended a SA (Socialists Anonymous) meeting.

It was probably one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do, but I am very proud that I "stepped up to the plate" and admitted that I have a problem.

I thought that some of you might be interested in reading the transcript from my first meeting:



"Hello. my name is Kevin and I am a socialist.

["Hi Kevin"]

I have been a socialist most of my life, but am now finally admitting it

[sporadic hand claps & a quiet 'amen brother'].

I worked for 30 years in public funded socialist libraries where anyone could just walk in and borrow items without having to pay for them. I not only watched this happen - and made no attempt to avert my eyes - sometimes I even helped these people. But unfortunately, that wasn't enough. I also pooled my money with my colleagues and started receiving socialized medicine.

In 2005, my retirement system knew of my weakness and they offered me a sweet deal that came from socialized public funds. But once again that wasn't enough for me. I also signed up for public funded socialized medicine from this same retirement group.

I guess I knew I was really hooked on the stuff back in '89, when I [voice shaking], well . . . as they say 'the son inherits the sins of the father' when I . . . I - enrolled my son at the public funded socialist school 'Madison Park' in Trotwood

[a few gasps and a soft 'Go Rams!'].

Now I just try to stay clean, although I'm still sucking off the double socialist teat (money & health insurance) of my retirement system.

Sure I occasionally stop at my local public funded socialist library, but it's usually for just *one* book. Then I head on down the public funded socialist road back to my house.

Sometimes, while watching television, I will stumble onto the public funded socialist Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television station. Although I try to immediately change the channel, I admit that on occasion I have lingered there . . . and watched.

Well - that's it for now, I guess. thanks."

[applause and random words of encouragement]




ADDENDUM: I am supposed to return for another meeting, or at least contact my support person, this month. I will keep you posted of any developments. In the meantime, thanks to everyone for their support. I will get through this . . . "I will survive."
