Good afternoon family,

When I first came here I thought that I would be walking the steps, just the ONCE.

Now, almost six months later I realise that I will be walking them many times.

It has also come as a complete surprise to realise that as a result of the moral and searching inventory of myself that I began some months ago, three in fact, I have progressed through Step 5, Step 6 and arrivedat Step 7 in some of the areas that I identified.

Yes I after admitting to God, to myself, I have used this family to reveal the exact nature of some of my wrongs.  Now I seek others that will be more appropriate to reveal the exact nature of some of my other wrongs.  And, what's more I have started to feel love for myself.  I am not ashamed of where I have been, what I have done; I am pleased that I have faced my fears, faced the past and am beginning to trust and let go, let God.

Meanwhile, I know that I have prepared myself, and am entirely ready to have God remove ALL these defects of character though I am aware that I will need to recognise and USE the NEW TOOLS thathave been placed in my TOOL BOX. 

I have acknowledged that I want to change me, I want to change my life, I want to change in order to complete the holistic recovery in me.

Now I am seeking HELP, step 7, as I understand it, and ask for humility to enable me to ask for that help and accept that help, which I will need to complete this part of the recovery programme.

However, I am not sure what HELP I am looking for, so I do not know what to ask for and wonder if I will recognise the right kind of HELP for this step?

Has anyone else got stuck on this step?  What did you ask for? Did you recognise the correct sort of HELP that you needed for this step?
What a dicotomny.
