CHANGE.......
I've been in this funk, & what acurred to me today was that I need change. I just did my 7th step with my sponsor. I think I have been stuck between 6 & 7, you know, taking the action, giving myself to my creator, not just thinking about it. So now I'm on step 8, & that's a hard one for me, but I have to keep the willingness thruout all these steps. That's what my sponsor said, & she is very wise, she's never led me astray. I've been wondering why I haven't been able to get out of this funk, until today. I needed to work my 7th step. I'd been stuck on 6. So I go into action & continue with my 8th. I've let up on my praying too. I need to get out of myself.My sponsor is starting a step study with a few women, so I'm going to that, I believe it is starting next week, I'm looking forward to it. She is also having some women over to do a creative outlet thing, tap into our creative side. I need that too. I have neglected the creative part of myself for a long time. I know I have it in me, & I've blocked it out. One of my character defects, that I turned over to god, is that I self sabbotage, am self destructive, I hope god took those. That would bring about some change, some good ones. It's a simple program, but it's hard work, & I'm lazy. The answers are in the steps, keep working the steps to the best of my ability.
Hope you all had a good start on the new year. I enjoyed my day. It was uneventful, I stayed home most of the day, & putzed around, did some reading, watched a little tv, it was nice. I don't need alot these days, & didn't have any expectations, well, I did a little, but it was ok they weren't met, no big deal.

I love step studies with all women...very powerful! ENJOY
half the battle is knowing what to do. have a good day!
Hi Sharron
With step 6 And 7 you just say a prayer asking your concept of god to take away your shortcomings etc which have been made apparent to you in steps 5 and 4.
then you can make your amends, at least thats what I did with my sponsor
Step 8 is a forceful step. So maybe it was just getting past Step 7 and into making a list for amends that will ignite you. I really liked the steps--all of them. And was willing to be totally honest.
