Set an alarm for one hour after you complete your 5th step and think hard, did you leave anything out?

After this hour, say the 7th step prayer.

Now you are on step 8. I'm usually exhausted after this (a long 5th step discussion followed by step 6; carefully thinking about whether anything at all had been left out), so step 8 is done the following week.

It's not rocket science.


My sponsor reminds me that my higher power is too much of a gentleman to take away from me anything I am holding on to.....I must be entirely willing, then I must be on the look out (step 10) daily to find my habits of behavior which require changing.
