What is my recovery dependent upon? What must be burned into my consciousness? What happens if I walk with the new man in the path to spiritual progress? How should the alcoholic relate in his relationships especially his family? What are the only conditions on my getting well?

We complete the look at steps 4-5. There are 5th step promises in these pages. Also suggestions about your attitude and willingness to be thorough and honest in your step 5. Then before beginning the actions of step 6-12 there are a series of questions. How is the cement in your spiritual structure? Are you building the structure on sand or rock?

This episode covers the topics in the title. The handouts corresponding to the topics are in resources for recovery under links and documents. I also tie it all together with the powerful message on p17. Members attending commented it was extremely helpful. Hope it will be so for you! Any comments appreciated at [email protected]

These pages go into how you approach a prospect. Very specific suggestions. Are we doing this today? This information I have found very helpful for me working with someone . It helps keep me in touch with my first step.

On these 2 pages we look at what we have been trying to do up to this point and how step 5 relates to this process. There are good reasons given why we should do this step and a warning if we don’t.

We look at what happened in the Towns hospital to Bill W. How did he change as the result? What became his life’s focus? How has that affected your life today? What was his vision in 1939? Has that come true? These few pages and actually the whole chapter are a powerful message of hope to all those who suffer from alcoholism.

This is a powerful chapter that applies today as much as in 1939. Starts with promises that result from working steps1-12. Then detailedview of how to connect and guide a new person.

We finish our look at step 4 with some final thoughts on this step and then look at self pity. This appendix has an excellent look at this very destructive state of mind. The group found this to be very helpful. Love to hear from you [email protected].

These pages have Bill and Ebby in the kitchen. Bill is fighting the idea of God personal to him. Ebby suggests he have his own conception of God. Bill takes step 2. Then in the hospital he takes takes steps 3-9. Powerful!

I complete the review of step 11 by looking at the discussion on prayer in the 12 and 12. There is a look at the benefits of prayer. How it can change us and give us a sense of purpose. We never have to be alone any more. Examines how we should use prayer effectively.
