| Interesting thing I noticed in the BB.
As many of you know I am helping out with a step workshop. As I was studying Step 5 in the Big Book (page 72 to 75), I noticed something very interesting.
Nowhere in the chapter Into Action in the Big Book where it talks about admitting to another person your wrongs does it mention talking to your sponsor.
Even more interesting.
Nowhere does it mention to admit your wrongs to a fellow alcoholic in the program either.
The chapter suggests talking to Doctors, close friends, family, and clergy, but nothing about a fellow alcoholic and/or your sponsor.
Now it does mention about talking to your sponsor in the book the 12 & 12 in Step 5, but not the BB.
I read the part of the chapter over and over on Step 5, thinking I may have missed it but saw nothing about sponsors or fellow alcoholics.
Now, by no means am I saying that it is wrong that it's not in there or that I think they should put it in. I am simply saying that I found it interesting. As you all know, I think sponsorship is extremely important.
Anyone else notice this or did I miss something that was completely in front of my eyes on page 72 to 75? I wouldn't be surprised if I did.
