AA 12 x 12 Step 2 page 31, from the start of the paragraph: �When we encountered AA, the fallacy of our defiance was revealed…� until �We saw them meet and transcend their other pains and trials.� At the start of the previous paragraph: �As psychiatrists have often observed, defiance is the outstanding characteristic of many an alcoholic.� Write your name above the words �an alcoholic�. When we encountered AA, the fallacy of our defiance was revealed. Write the word �lie� above the word �fallacy�. Soul work look up: fallacy, defiance, reliance, transcend. When we encountered AA, the fallacy of our defiance was revealed. Q1. Define what they are talking about. At no time had we asked what God�s will was for us Q2a. Has the truth of your defiance been revealed? b) If so, are you still acting in a defiant way? Q3a. This week did you deny that you were at the end of yourself? b) What did you try to control this week knowing you had no control? Q4. How did it work for you taking back your will instead of asking for God�s will? Take it to meditation and then write on it. At no time had we asked what God�s will was for us; instead we had been telling Him what it ought to be. Q5. This week how many of you told God how it ought to be? How many of you shook your fist at God, were mad at God? Q6. No man [or woman], we saw, could believe in God and defy Him too. Write on this. Thy will not mine be done. Q7. In meditation you are invited to be reliant, which is recovery, and the opposite of defiance which is being in the disease. In meditation ask how you can be more reliant on the Higher Power of your understanding.
