Big Book Chapter 6: Step Five Into Action soul work page 74:1 Underline the words in bold. ….Perhaps our doctor or psychologist will be the person. It may be one of our own family, but we cannot disclose anything to our wives or our parents which will hurt them and make them unhappy. We have no right to save our skin at another’s expense. Such parts of our story we tell to someone who will understand, yet be unaffected. The rule is we must be hard on ourselves, but always considerate of others. Page 75:2 We pocket our pride and go to it, illuminating every twist of character, every dark cranny of the past. Look up: illuminating. A definition of pride is that it is a disordered way that we see ourselves. Either we see ourselves as more important than God and others or we see ourselves as less important. 1) What does it mean ‘to pocket our pride’? ‘…Once we have taken this step, withholding nothing, we are delighted. We can look the world in the eye. We can be alone at perfect peace and ease. Our fears fall from us. We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator. We may have had certain spiritual beliefs, but now we begin to have a spiritual experience. The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared will often come strongly. We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe.’ 2) Write on these fifth step promises. If you have done your fifth step, have you got all or some of these promises? [If you haven’t done your fifth step, this is what you can expect.]
