I don't know how 12 Step worked before the cell phone. Really. What went on? This all started before answering machines were even common. Back then, when you called somebody, they answered, you got a busy signal, or it just rang until you hung up the phone.

Get a phone. As soon as you can. Get a plan that allows for lots of texting and anytime minutes. People will call you anytime. They will call at noon, they will call at two a.m. They will call you in crisis, they will call you drunk, and they will call with inane questions.

The phone is great for those Fuck-It moments. When I'm ready to quit my job over some dumb thing that happened in the office, when I feel like getting into a fight over the slightest infringement on my pride, when I feel the shroud of self-pity coming over me, I call someone. It's that easy.
