Giving up steps 1-12
Permalink  

Found this today and thought I would share it ,


Steps 1-3 are about GIVING UP -  I give up the illusion that I can control the alcoholic, that I am sane and the I can manage my life alone.


steps 4-6 are about OWNING UP- In these steps I seek the truth about my strengths and weaknesses. I admit those to God and another human being. and become entirley willing to let God remove my shortcommings.


steps 7-9  ARE ABOUT MAKING UP.-look at my broken relationships with God -myself and with others, and s trive to see my part in how they became damaged. I ask God to help me see who and how to make amends to correct the harm I may have done.


steps 9-12  KEEPING UP - I don't try to keep up with others , I keep up with myself and my growth. take personal inventory , prayer and meditation I keep in line with Gods will for me. Carrying the message keeps me grateful and focused  on practicing the principles in all my affairs.


How's that for Keeping it Simple ?

 Good...at first I thought you were gonna say you were quitting al anon....


 I was taught the program roughly breaks down into thirds: trust god; clean house; serve others. (1-3; 4-9; 10-12)


 Yours sounds so much more spiritual though

Abby,

I like Keep It Simple! It works for me.

I noticed that UP is at the end of each of these too and UP is where my HP resides.

Thanks for sharing,
Maria123
