VERY interesting. A must read
Posted On: 06/21/2009 01:34:44

So i had a discussion earlier today with my sponsor about my whole food problem and sex problem.

I am on step 6 too and he talked about his story with step 6 and how it took him 3 years to complete it. Basically just like all the other steps, but most like step 1, when i am beaten i become willing. I've been beaten, but am i smart enought o know when its time to stop getting beaten?

Than he explained to me Maslow's Hierarchy of needs dealing with food and my entire life. He said to me to my entire life that i wasn't even on this pyramid... That i didn't know how to take care of myself. That i was on the self destructive bar my entire life, and used drugs and now food to numb myself and to harm myself and cleansing or whatever.

My entire life ive been trying to kill myself with drugs and alcohol and everything. He said that i need to go through the process of counting my calories. My entire life i havent counted calories, it is important to know about health, so when someone freaks out and sees me counting calories they automaticallyg et worried and think im going to overdo it. yes i beat myself up alot for eating 7 or 8 cookies lol, but u kno.. Temperance.

I truly have alcoholism:

Alcoholism: alcoholism is a complex chronic psychological and nutritional disorder associated with excessive and usually compulsive drinking.

Thats my shpeel and im sticking to it.

The program, which are the steps and fellowshipping are all very simple. It is we who complicate it.

     Well, you're not alone. There's a lot of us drunks hanging out here.  So stick to it.


     The sixth step is always a fun one,. Most of my "defects of character" I was entirely ready to get rid of. As opposed to them vanishing overnight, I've had to deal with them - most often in situations that would expose them in all their finery. One of the aspects of the seventh step application to an undesireable  trait or habit is that He seems to present these situations before me with increasing regularity. It's still up to me to do the footwork and develop the counter-habit. It works, as even I'm capable of learning .


      It's also good to note that often what one may consider a "defect of character" will not change, no matter how hard one tries. The prayer on page 76 of the BB puts it quite well where it states: " ...every single defect of chracter which stands in the way of my usefulness to You...". He may just happen to have a use for something I consider a defect. His will, not mine.


     For this drunk, the sixth is a lifetime step. I'll still be working at it as they kick dirt on top of me...


Hugs,


Dennis
