i dumped all that garbage on God and my sponsor was also there to listen
then after and from the book ....
"Returning home we find a place where we can be quiet for AN HOUR, carefully reviewing what we have done. (So we take ONE hour after the Fifth Step to do the following.) We thank God from the bottom of our heart that we know Him BETTER (now, through our actions and experiences, we learn more and more about what God is NOT, and the more we know what God is NOT, the more we know Him better). Taking this book down from our shelf we turn to the page which contains the Twelve Steps (which is page 59). CAREFULLY reading the first five proposals (which is referring to the first five Steps) we ask if we have omitted ANYTHING, for we are building an arch through which we shall walk a free man at last. Is our work solid so far? Are the stones properly in place? Have we skimped on the cement put into the foundation? Have we tried to make mortar without sand?"
"If we can answer to our satisfaction, we look at Step Six."
i couldnt
i had to get back with my sponsor to admit that i had lied about one dark secret
no big deal just something i didnt want to reveal
exactly the kind of thing that will get me drunk
