If anyone out there is new to al anon, or has heard about it, but has questions, or has never heard about it...ask, ask...i can answer...there is so much out there to read on the subject...



so i was at step 3....made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of god as we understood him...

hmmmm this is sometimes hard for me but i am getting better at it...to turn over my will..boy when i want something, i just want it, i don't want to have to wait to get it, but i am turning my will over, which means that my higher power knows what is best for me and maybe that thing i am waiting for isn't best for me, maybe i need to wait until something better comes along even though i think this thing is best for me...this step is about TRUST...

step 4...made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves....ok this step for me is about change...i make that inventory, i keep what i like and what i don't like i need to change..this step opens my eyes to the things i do that are hindering my growth...

step 5...admitted to god, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs...admitting my wrongs is the first step to changing my wrongs after i inventory those wrongs..if i dont' admit i do them, i cannot change them...

step 6....were entirely ready to have god remove all these defects of character...ok i am ready, please take them away... ah ha...it is not that easy...i may be ready but...ok here is the but...do i still get a pay off from these defects?? in the past they did me some good, so it is hard to remove them when i am still getting a payoff, only when i don't like the payoff or when i see that i am not getting a payoff, will i be entirely ready to have god remove them...hmmm.to have god remove them, not me...wow, i just have to be willing and they will be removed.


anyone out there have any comments.. i would love to talk over this subject with you..
