This is a program of action

 When I first met my sponsor and accepted a few of his suggestions that would begin the process of him and myself going through the 12 steps he began to tell me that this was a program of action


As I continue to go through the steps, I began to understand that I had to get into action, reading learning about certain aspects of the steps, writing them down pencil to paper and coming together with my sponsor, too dig in depth, undesired parts of my life 


Come together with God and ask for the courage to make the change that I need responsibility to make an amends. It didn’t matter how but it mattered a conscious effort, regardless of the outcome.


Once I come to begin to work on my daily inventory and draw closer to my higher power Who I choose to call God,  the result of my actions created within me a spiritual experience. 


In understanding my spiritual experience, I know that I could not have received it unless I had put forth wholeheartedly and honest felt action at working the steps, my spiritual experience entailed, the body, the mind, and the spirit all working together in God will. 


Thanks

    The Four Agreements says: Do your Best. This requires action to make it happen. Without action, we aren't doing our best.

Change only happens when doing the steps

  I always heard in meetings people say change only Happens when you were doing steps. Sure enough when I begin doing the steps change began to happen and it was while I was doing the steps. The steps themselves are a set of principles, and as I went Through the steps, I would apply particular principles in every day life while doing those specific steps You would see periodic lists that have principles behind each step and those are great, but it’s interesting to me that I find reflecting on the principles that I used to draw strength off of to do the steps.

I love talking about the steps. I love working the steps.

Honesty

  I was introduced to the 12 Step Program back in 2014 2015. through a light reading of the first three steps, I accepted I was an alcoholic, and I did not worry about considering the understanding of a higher power in step two and step three because I believed in God and didn’t think I needed to waste to much time on this topic.  I now began to embark on a step four, courageous and moral inventory of myself, The step that I knew everybody would fall off at and begin to find out what was wrong with me growing up because this was the only thing I honestly wanted to do out of this 12 Step Program, kind of weird, huh?  After completing many fourth steps, This truly changed my life and help me to understand the things that I dealt with growing up, the fears I Felt, the resentments that turned into defects of character and further led me into a toxic way of life that no matter what I did, I could never find peace or happiness, and usually any action I would take would be negat...
