Soul work this week: Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous Reference: Bill's Story, page 8, first word "pride." Ending on page 8, "How dark it is before the dawn!" Workshop writing: Write about how pride in one's sobriety or recovery comes before the fall. What does this mean to you? Have you ever had the thought: "I've made it!" Or similar thoughts, "Look at me, I've arrived!"? Share an experience where you can see the pride and how it all turned out. Definitions: Look up the words, "pride," "quicksand," "insidious," "self-pity," (and make up your own definition of "self-pity" in question #2). Buddy Questions 1. Write out the last time you felt loneliness and despair. Share a loneliness and despair story as part of your sobriety story. 2. Write what you believe is a good definition of self-pity for you. 3. Are you full of loneliness and despair, afraid of opening up, even to your buddies or this group? Write about where you feel this in your life. 4. Write how being caught in quicksand is very similar to being caught in addiction. 5. Write about the last time the insidious insanity of the first drink lied to you. 5. Write down "alcoholic insanity." How is it a different type of insanity? 6. Come up with a minimum of 5 insidious insane thoughts that have run through your mind before picking up. 7. How many of you are up all night in loneliness, despair and self-pity when things are not working out? Then the thought comes, "There is hope!" When was the last time the hope came for you, and how? 8. Write alongside "dawn:" I have a choice. Draw the triangle. God at the top, you on the right, and on the left corner, write recovery, and draw arrows to those (steps, fellowships, sponsors, buddies, meetings, tools, etc.) In the middle of the triangle, write "life, recovery, dawn." 9. What tools work best for you (to exercise choice)? 10. How is humility the antidote to pride? end
