Workshop writing: Underline in the middle of page 7: "It relieved me somewhat to learn that in alcoholics the will is amazingly weakened when it comes to combating liquor, though it often remains strong in other respects." Group Question: Did you know that before? Have you accepted this in your own life when it comes to your addictions? How do you use your willpower now in God-honoring ways? Buddy Questions 1. Who are you? When someone asks you why you don't drink, why you weigh and measure your food, or regarding your other addiction recovery, who are you? What do you tell them? 2. Like Bill, can you relate to being in really bad shape? 3. Are you open to service when asked for help in recovery, for even ten minutes? How are you doing in your service with others? 4. Who did you first meet in recovery? What first piece of literature did you get? 5. Write this down: Self-knowledge is important. What do you think the fourth and fifth step is about? We learn our reactions to life were selfish, dishonest, resentful and fearful. Write on this. 6. Write about how self-knowledge alone doesn't give the power to change. end

What is your deeper issue that you really need to work on re. step one? What are you now using to numb out? ‘Should I kill myself? No - not now. Then a mental fog settled down. Gin would fix that. So two bottles, and - oblivion.’ Q2. Did you ever achieve oblivion in your addiction? Was that your goal? ‘Sometimes I stole from my wife’s slender purse when the morning terror and madness were on me.’ Q3. Do you wake up in the morning having terror about something: taxes due, cheating, working under the table, stealing, etc? Q4. Are you doing something that somebody would say to you: ‘You are doing what? Are you crazy? ‘ ‘There were flights from city to country and back, as my wife and I sought escape.’ Q5. What did you do for geographical cures? Have you gone to different types of groups? Did you even move? Divorce? Change jobs? Q6. ‘There is no escape.’ Do you really believe that? Besides your step one addiction, what else do you need to look at? ‘People feared for my sanity. So did I.’ Q7. Has anyone ever mentioned to you they feared for your sanity? ends 3/12/2019 0 Comments Recording For March 12, 2019(Week 27) 12 March 2019 12 Step All Addictions Big Book workshop
