When I took the third step I stopped always being a victim. I owned many of my problems.

The eleventh step gives me the chance to keep growing. Step three opened the door, 4-9 cleaned up my past. Step 10 keeps me right for today ( when I use it) Step 11 can bring me closer to God. I prefer to contemplate. I take a portion of the prayer of St Francis.

Who do I serve thee????? ( A recurring theme in the Big Book)

I often take that prayer and turn it into questions at the end of the day. I find prayer and meditation are very effective if I follow them up with some inventory.
