AA 12 x 12 Step Five Page 59 From start of paragraph beginning: ‘Hence it was most evident… Sunday open study group: 11-12 noon EST 712 432 0800 pin 587213# The meeting needs support. The two regulars are very serious about their recovery. The only requirement is if you go, say you are on the line. soul work Look up: garbled. Fifth step instructions Get somebody trustworthy. Make appointments that work for both of you. Find a safe place. Bring something that represents your higher power: a candle, picture of your higher power, something that is meaningful to you. Say 3rd step prayer and then read and read and read. Read the back of the page if that feels right for you. If it feels like too much information and it does not feel comfortable then don’t. You are in charge. You and God and another human being being honored by you revealing your work to God. After doing the 5th step, go home, pick up your Big Book and read the first five steps then meditate for an hour. Only thing you meditate on is: have I skipped anything? Is there anybody else I have a resentment against any other fears, institutions etc.? If you have only done five resentments ask: On the five that I have done, have I left anything out? If you have written about everybody then ask about everybody. If only written one you ask: God have I skipped on this one person something you want me to know? . If your Higher power says: ‘no you haven’t skipped anything’ then you read step six in the Big Book. Are the stones in place? Then do step six and then do step seven. We are not there as a group so you just rest there. We’ll get there, don’t worry. There’s no hurry. Just keep doing your quiet time Keep reading those paragraphs six and seven in the big book and ask God: from my resentments what are my character defects and assets? Be prepared. So when the group gets there you will be all ready. Not rushing ahead. Then write an action plan for every day. God says you are impatient then you are gong to ask God give me an action plan. I am comfortable with God talking to me. I am not afraid of me any more. I always wanted somebody to tell me what to do. I have a lot of accountability because I can get off on a tangent. I am not afraid. I do hear from God and then I run it by people that I trust: Is this what God wants me to do? That is the complete instructions for doing step five and six. We will get to six and we will get to seven much more formally when I am done with five. I am not in any hurry and I am doing this process the same way as you. No hurry.
