That's a good point. For me it was the 4th step in particular that showed me some really sick and self-reinforcing patterns in my behavior, that I'd been in big denial about. To take responsibility that a person might have one or two bad experiences of a certain type, but when the same thing happens over and over again, it's time to admit your part in it.
I need a fresh brain. This one has gone dry.
Del, don't let the squirrels take over the attic. & don't live by lists -- it's not a path to serenity.
