well...in step 8 it talks about that it isn't just about lie cheat and steal, but the subtle stuff like harming others by taking care of people so they don't learn or grow and the refusal to make a decision in a relationship but letting the other do it, or simply not being open with the people in our relationships. not being emotionally honest and harm caused by lies of ommision. being overresponsible and being sorry for harm when we didn't really cause the harm or we didn't really do anything "wrong". Also not taking responsiblity for other peoples behavior like we "caused" it.
Just some things that I don't always get from listening to the Joe and Charlie tapes, which we also listen to. I get something from a lot of different ways of looking at the steps. This book has just helped me to explore some different ways of the steps in my life that I don't always see in my AA readings.
Just a different perspective...always helps me out.
