I’m a teacher... welcome to my world. As an insightful commenter posted: “My guess is the parents had a role in shaping this behaviour.”

I could not have put it better myself.

My religious uncle, who loves to debate (especially after many wines) once told/asked me “if I didn’t think I’d be punished I would lie, steal, and cheat all the time. So why wouldn’t you?”

AA has an extremely religious foundation, and religion is an integral part of the program. It doesn’t fit with everyone’s beliefs.

Lots of love! I am in awe of your 4 years, I hope to be able to say the same one day.

OK is ESPECIALLY tight this week. Give me 16 extra pages EVERY WEEK, Ok?
