AN EVER-GROWING FREEDOM

The Seventh Step is where we make the change in our attitude which permits
us, with humility as our guide, to move out from ourselves toward others and
toward God.

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 76

When I finally asked God to remove those things blocking me from Him and the sunlight of the Spirit, I embarked on a journey more glorious than I ever
imagined. I experienced a freedom from those characteristics that had me
wrapped up in myself. Because of this humbling Step, I feel clean.

I am especially aware of this Step because I'm now able to be useful to God
and to my fellows. I know that He has granted me strength to do His bidding
and has prepared me for anyone, and anything, that comes my way today. I am truly in His hands, and I give thanks for the joy that I can be useful today.

I can see why the 12X12 says that this step is the one that separates the men from the boys.....it's not for sissies....lol.
I find myself having to work this one especially, over and over again.
Thank God for this awesome program that has changed my thinking!

to move out from ourselves toward others and
toward God.

I think Bill W was on to something when he said working with others is the best thing to do. Getting out of myself (He He, getting Over myself actually ) has helped enormously.
