Hey guys!! Great thread and very thought provoking.
Sorry, but I couldn't help not joining in. As some of you already know, this topic has been slapped around pretty good...and although I have my own position and/or belief on this subject... I'm curious:
In the BB, it says, "If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it - then you are ready to take certain steps."
Doesn't that "If" means a choice was made?
It has been shared that no choice is mentioned in any step other that step three. Yet, in the 1st step, don't we make a choice to admit our powerlessness & unmanageability? Don't we choose to believe (and what we believe) in step 2? In step 4, don't some of us still cling to denial or fear and select what it is we inventory? For step 5, does everyone get assigned that "another human being" or do we choose who we share our inventory with? In step 6, is becoming "entirely ready" an event or a process? And if it is a process, who determines when one is entirely ready? I could go on...
just curious to what others think...
