Thank you for posting this. This lesson has taken me years to really learn. Why DOES it take that long? Why do I have to keep doing the same thing over and over when I know better? Why does the "How will he survive..." constantly haunt me.
This posting, in its clarity, makes it all sound so simple. The 12 steps all sound so simple. And I guess they are simple, as in uncomplicated, but none of this is EASY simple.
I have found, over the years in my recovery, that I need to practice this stuff every single day...as Step 12 says, we need to practice these principles in ALL our affairs.
Posts like these remind me not to become complacent in my step work. Sharing and fellowship are wonderful tools, but the bricks and mortar are found in these 12 steps.
Thank you so much!!!!!
