QUESTIONS???

Picking just one Step ummm that's tough for me they are ALL important. Some days it's the 1,2,3 waltz somedays its all the steps. Just narrowing it down to one for me is almost impossible. Each step has given me different values and different strengths.

One gave me the knowledge of just how little I control and just how crazy I am.

Two reminded me there is a God and He can help.

Three let me know I can make decisions, and that each persons belief system is, or could be different from my own.

Four made me take a good long look at myself the good. bad, and the ugly.

Five I had to share myself with God and another person

Six Finding the willingness to ask God for help

Seven Asking God for help

Eight Listing all the persons in my life who I hurt

Nine Saying I am sorry

Ten looking at myself daily to see if I am on the right track

Eleven Staying in touch with God DAILY

Twelve working the program in everything I do

For me there is no separating these steps. Yes I may have the need to work one particular step more than another but they all build one upon another. And without a foundation the house would come tumbling down.

Just my humble opinion but I think we each work the steps we need at any given moment according to where we are in our recovery and our lives.

The Steps mean different things to different people. It is also a disease of perception. As a friend of mind said, "Put it on the shelf until you find someone who needs it and you can pass it on. Sometimes it is easy to give advice, but hard still to listen to yourself and apply your own words to your life. As I like to say, knowing the words mean nothing if you don't take them off the page or the post and apply them to your life. It is a living program and the 12 Steps guide me to a new way of life.
