I stayed in the work. and I commented to my sponsor about only using the BB and I thought it was great...he thought it would be good for me to read steps six and seven in the 12/12 - trying to teach me a lesson I'm sure.
You have been busy. The first two times I went through the Steps it was using only the Big Book. My experience has been that although that was a great help, I am able today to also benefit from utilizing other sources such as the 12 x 12 in the maintenance and application of the Steps in my life.
