Have you ever made the decision suggested in A.A. Step 3?

 

[Integrity]

I turned my will and my life over to the care of A.A. over 30 years ago and it has definitely helped me with the problem I went to the fellowship for.

A.A. has also helped me in so many other ways over the years.

Step 4
“Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.”

Do you, or have you ever inventoried yourself?

I have been in the secret handshake society for 31+ years. I have to remind myself constantly what I have no control over in my PC.

"Dude, if you are this obnoxious now, I cannot even imagine how obnoxious you were when you drank."

Thanks for sharing,

I don’t find you to be obnoxious at all.

Step 4 is the beginning of a lifetime practice, it can be suggested that you first have a look at those flaws in you which are acutely troublesome and fairly obvious.

Have you looked at your flaws recently?

Step 5
“Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”

 

[Old Man Jingles]

One has to be completely *ed up to come on BC (or any such SM site) and recite AA steps for no apparent reason. Do you not realize how you are degrading a serious program? You may be a Dog Day Afternoon kind of guy...

If you don’t like the discussion topic, you may be more comfortable in a different discussion thread.

Or maybe, if you don’t like the discussion topic, you may be more comfortable friend*king yourself!

When trying to avoid step 5 a difficulty that can present itself is “what comes to us alone may be garbled by our own rationalization and wishful thinking.”

Step 6
“Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”

Step 6 often moves the serious person to notice that if he has been granted a perfect release from alcoholism,why then shouldn’t he be able to achieve by the same means a perfect release from every other difficulty or defect?

Step 7
“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”

I have found humility, ever growing humility is an attribute necessary for and a byproduct of Step 7.

Step 8
“Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.”
