1/9/2014 0 Comments Recording For January 9, 2014(week 106) 9th of January 2014 Big Book Step Study Workshop
AA 12&12 p. 28 middle of para 2: “The roadblocks of indifference, fancied self-sufficiency, prejudice, and defiance…” Until p. 29 near end of top paragraph: “We were still sure that we ought to be fairly honest, tolerant, and just, that we ought to be ambitious and hardworking.” 2 Announcements: (1) Concerning Stephanie’s Q3b of last week ( Jan. 2, ’14) – ‘ Do you have in your life an accountability partner who is willing to tell you that you are playing God in your life?’ – STEPHANIE WISHES TO TELL YOU THAT:IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZES THEY NEED GUIDANCE, IT WOULD PUT A MONKEY-WRENCH INTO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER TO GET ( ideally constructive) CRITICISM FROM THEM RATHER THAN JUST THEIR WITNESSING & ENCOURAGEMENT. SO – BETTER TO USE SOMEONE ELSE, OTHER THAN YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER, FOR GUIDANCE/ CRITICISM. QUESTIONS: Q1a) Where are You: – Are you in the RELIGIOUS place that says the existence of G-d CAN be proved? – Are you in the AGNOSTIC place that says it CAN’T be proved and I Don’t Trust G-d? – Are you in the ATHEISTIC place that claims proof of the NON- existence of G-d? – OR: Are you in the HP place- just Very Confused how to USE your Higher Power? Or – Are you anything inbetween? 1b) Are you in a dilemma of “profound confusion” NOW? (AA 12&12 p. 28 para 2 end sentence 6) c) If not, tell your story of HOW YOU were & HOW G-d led You to Your foundation of conviction Today. Q2) Can you relate to the word DRIFTER? (AA 12&12 p. 28- last para 1st sentence). Q3) How many of you, IN your addiction, were ” fairly honest, tolerant, and just, … ambitious and hardworking”? Q4) Do you believe that any ONE addiction is MORE serious than another? Where are you in your prejudice? THIS is GOOD PRACTICE: Write (c/o Stephanie) – -” I commit to going to my HP ( howEVER I’m clear about who/what my HP is ) when I am in confusion about what to do next or when I need comfort. – And I will go to this HP every day and I will LISTEN to what this HP wants me to know about it/ Him/ Her. – And I will go to this HP whenever I need comfort/ am in confusion/ just need to talk.”
