As soon as I finished Step 3, I started on step 4, but after an hour my sponsor stopped me and asked if I was doing step 11 every night (not the way some people sponsor). I have since developed a great appreciation for this. If I do not start and end the day seeking my HP's will for me, I have no chance of completing the steps 4 thru 9 and in IMHO I am flirting with a relapse.

On the other hand, if I am actively seeking my HP's will, there is a good chance that I will stay sober today.
