Have ya Ever Stepped Down off your Ego Button and had an 'Auh..Hah... Moment'

Resently I have been having some "Stinkin thinkin's" going on within my Head, and I have been Reading the Lit, and Doing Alot of differant tools that i Learned to Really get to the surface of it!

Well when I Sat Down and Ask myself "Whats my Part in it?" I would Shy away from the Answer, like the Question wasn't Strong Enough just coming from me! So when this Struggle Frist Surfaced, I Hit Anger, I Hit Betrail, I Hit Obsessive, Compulsive, and many other Triggers that I try One Day at a Time to Stay away from. But I Just couldn't Let it Go!

So that Night While Still Fuming on it, I Go to bed Uneasy not able to release it from me thoughts, and so next to my bed I have a "12 steps for AC book By: RPI Publishing, Inc" So I knew I Didn't want to go to the page I Left off, so I Ask My HP to just Give me the Page I Need! And Did He!

It was Just what I needed to Hear, and Just What Step I Needed to Take to Work thru My Issue, I Stopped the Next Day, and Reflected on Each Question and Did not Stop till I got to the end, Then I Shared it with a Treasured Friend, and WOW has it helped Me ;)  Hope it Helps One of You as Well :)
