Read "Acceptance was the Answer" name changed from "Doctor, Alcoholic, Addict".

Pretty good explanation from Dr. Paul O.

Be quick to see where religious people are right. page 87 This phrase stuck in my craw too. But it is true for me. Seems I gained prejudice - or pre judgement - on some religious words and ideas, but did I really want to rob myself of the truth just because of a mutilated word? The last Commitment ...

But the 4th step is more than just our resentments. We have to analyze our defects REGARDLESS of whether they specifically contributed to a resentment.

I was told it was our part in the specific resentment but this guy on YouTube is saying that there is a clear separation between the specific resentment & our wrongs ...

(a) That we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives. (b) That probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism. (c) That God could and would if He were sought.

Before Parties, after parties Wow. That April my Grandmother passed away while at Treatment. I went home for t...

I find that "Everything happens for a Reason". And now your Sponsor works with you. It might be time to be Totally Honest with yourself and someone else. If not your current Sponsor, then a Sponsor who you can be Open and Honest with. But the fact that you are Co Workers points towards something. An...

13 years of on/off sobriety? Maybe this change is exactly what is needed to move on from that which is not working. Everything happens for a reason.

From "How it Works" (a) That we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives. (b) That probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism. human including Myself (c) That God could and would if He were sought. Slow Down a little. A "Higher Power" can be anything.
