step 5 rethink


I recently met with my sponsor and told her some of my shortcomings, not all but easy does it, and so ive been thinking what do I do now, do I just move on to the next step? I have felt that this step needs more time and attention than that. Ive only done one part, ive admitted to another human being but I need to admit to myself and god. I thought that by writing all my shortcomings down i was admitting to me and so god must have seen them but no thats too easy and a bit of a cop out. So I was telling my friend about this and she comes out with amazing things to do, look at myself in the mirror and tell myself or take a shortcoming and burn it, or put it in a bottle and send it away down the river, make it a ritual. To tell god I could put it in a god box or I could say it out loudly, but privately so that I feel god has heard me. So im going to make this a big deal somehow so that I remember it and it means something. Then I can feel really ready for woking on the next step that is another big one. Thanks for listening.x

I love the ritual and I love that you are in tune and listening to your intuition.
