Step 1-..admitting I am powerless, I will die if I keep using...took me a few days to come to terms with that one.
Step 2-...I don't remember step two.
Step 3- 3rd step prayer..meditated by a creek with sponsor, and wrapped it up with saying 3rd step prayer together.
Step 4- ....ever hear about 7-areas of self? It was started in Prescott, AZ a few years back... Resentment list... Then you categorize those resentments of each person for doing the 7 areas. I forget them..crazy it's been a year since I did that..wow. It's like self-esteem, ambition, selfish... I haven't gotten around to burning my step work book, so I'll go through them and get that up here for you... It's really repetitive..makes a ton of work.. Each category ends up taking up a page, front and back, and my 4th step was almost 110pages long.. Next, Fear inventory. After that is the sex inventory...I thought this was a lot more than the 7 areas.. I actually had to put a lot of thought into it. End it off with the sex ideal.. I had to come up with characteristics I'd want in myself, and I had to narrow it down to 5.
Step 5- Go through my entire 4th step with sponsor at his house, and then, I admitted anything I would be uncomfortable talking about or would never tell anyone.
Step 6- 1 hour of meditation
Step 7- Follow up the meditation with 7th step prayer.
Step 8- Make a list for amends I needed to make.
Step 9- Make amends..
Steps 10-12 are really just applying everything you've gained from working the other steps into your daily life, and being a positive influence to the world.
I didn't ever get sponsees. I stopped going to meetings after being home for about 5-6months. I've been meaning to get to one.. I have a slew of excuses I could throw at you, but they don't really matter, do they?
