We have no monopoly on God; we merely have an approach that worked with us. But point out that we alcoholics have much in common and that you would like, in any case, to be friendly. Let it go at that.’ If any of you have questions about sponsoring, e-mail them to Stephanie and she will answer them. [email protected] Soulwork Be an encourager. Stephanie finds one of the most helpful things she says is: I understand that does not work for you. How can I be a help to you to find something that works? Definition of a spiritual experience: when we have freedom from the bondage of self. Q1. Do you have a God and do you know it is not you? Q2. Have you had an incident this past week where you knew God was it and you were not God. And an incident where you forgot and and tried to play God in your own or someone else’s life? If he thinks he can do the job in some other way, or prefers some other spiritual approach, encourage him to follow his own conscience. Q3. Write on this. How do you handle it? Are you an encourager? Give an example of when someone wanted to do something another way from that which you suggested. Did you drop them or encourage them? Q4. What if they prefer some other spiritual approach? Or they have the same concept of God as you do, but they prefer looking at God differently? Are you going to be an encourage or say: I cannot work with you? Q5. How encouraging are you to all the people in your life - not just your sponsees but group members, people at work, family, friends, etc? How much of an encourager are you to yourself? Q6. Are you afraid of people working a different program or are you accepting? Are you even happy for them that they do a different program? Q7. Take the whole paragraph, break it down and see where you are at. Ends
