I'm pay attention to the 11th and getting into mediation more.

Does anyone else work or live the steps on a daily basis?

Step 7 1/2. I made a list of all the people I have harmed and humbly asked Him to remove them.

Hmm, must of missed that Nemo.
I don't know about you but for this alcoholic I take the steps very serious which lead me to a way better way life.

Well I have to say, I did a step 4/5 today. They're not in place to be ignored once we do them the first time. They are the foundation to my recovery and I still need to do some internal housekeeping now and them.

I'm generally on whichever one is most likely to restore my sense of humor in any given situation.

Ha ha, nemo.

I visited step one for a little bit today, remembering that not only am I powerless over alcohol, but I am powerless over people, places, things, and especially bats. lol A bat got into my apartment and me, my two cats and my corn husk broom tried for over 2 hours to help scoot him out the open door. Tried as I might, I could not get the little thing outside where he'd be safe. He seemed to zero in on my head with each circle around the living room. Then he started dipping down low, which really excited my cats. They would leap up in contortions. I tried setting up blankets and screens to help direct him to the door, but he just flew around them. Luckily, the wee thing finally found the open door after about 100 close calls. lol That let me know that my higher power, not me, was in charge. lol Let go, let bat and let god.

CM, i can relate to the internal housekeeping.
For myself I use the 10th. Many i know to 4/5th a lot.
That's today for me of course if I keep an open mind that can change.
As we say " more will be reveled "

Now Nemo I can relate to your 2nd post.

hi gjm, I worked the steps until I got to a place where I was living them so I'm usually not on any step other than 10-12. Having said that, if it's something I cannot resolve through a 10th Step, such as my wanting to hold on to justification for my behavior, etc, then a 4th step may be called for. I don't have a problem with anyone today, lol, but as soon as I get cocky or complacent, my HP drops a brick on me, LOL.

Word of the month-Humility

hi gim i work the steps in an informal way and have been doing so for the past three years dont supose that will meet with much aproval but thats not my concern somehow it works for me like this uo to now so im reluctant to fix which aint broke peace& sobriety

No-ones going to disapprove of how you work the steps Rivalino. As they say in the US it's 'sweet'. (I'm learning yank speak). There's a wealth of experience here from people who do work the steps by the book, so if you have any questions or feel you need a change in your program, there's support here. CM xxx

I said the step 3 prayer before getting out of bed this morning....helps me to keep from getting out of bed on the wrong side ya know? :)

Hope everyone has a glorious day (or night for Coogee)

Still on 11 and the meditation gig.

Still laughing at Nemo's response, classic. I will tell my sponsor that one,.
