4/5/2012 0 Comments Recording For April 5, 2012Bill Story: from page 5, beginning of 2nd para: ‘Gradually things got worse…’
until end of 2nd para. page 7: ‘Surely this was the answer – self-knowledge.’ Words: prodigious, oblivion, confidence, cock-sureness 1. Where are you when something happens to rock your world? What mode do you go into? Is your glass half full or half empty? Do things gradually get worse or can you feel your feelings, go to God and ask ‘how can I turn this around?’ 2. Write about what happened when you woke up; when you got self-awareness and self-knowledge and realized that you had to stop (your addiction). What happened after that? 3.’My mind is weaker than the disease. When I align my mind with a Higher Power it becomes stronger than the disease/addiction.’ Write on the times that you tried to overcome your addiction without aligning your mind with God and the times when you did align with God. 4. Write about being in recovery, taking the first bite/sip of alcohol and having that nanosecond when you knew that it was not a good idea and, with the help of God, you pulled yourself away. If you have not had that experience, e.g. accidentally picked up the wrong glass at a wedding, write out an action plan of what you would do? 5. Write on self-knowledge. Is it the answer? Has it been your answer with your addiction and other areas of your life? 6. Read pages 6 and 7, look for Bill’s feelings and identify with them.
