Step Three happened sometime before I actually got on my knees with my sponsor and said the prayer together. We had read the book together up to where the paragraph breaks before the prayer as written on pg63, and ended the session. He was subtely giving me time to think about what we had covered...one week passed during which I re-read up to that point (I never read past where I have gone with my sponsor any more - I thought at one time I know what the book is about and would read ahead). Mostly I thought, and got quiet.
During all the reading and talking (a little bit of writing, but not much) I was thirsty for more..I wanted to move on.
I 'felt' ready to take the step, there was no reservation whatsoever. I would have 'formally' said the step that night if he would have let me, but that was not the case.
We said the prayer, in and of itself there wasn't much.
When I got home that night after the meeting, I picked up a pen and started making a list of names.........
