It's a peaceful grey still morning here - the rain has stopped for the moment and the cat is hanging out on the desk like a paper weight. It occurred to me I haven't been using this blog much for almost two months. And I realized the reason was because I have been doing all my recovery work in a notebook with pen and ink. Old school!
I read the Big Book and some of the language reads old school and that's ok too. More than ok. A more than viable alternative to digital living.
So I'm working on my step study and distilling my list of character defects, shortcomings and harmful behaviours. I asked two friends outside of program but sympathetic to 12 step to have a look. So far, one has honestly and helpfully said I did not include the "I want what I want when I want it, damn the consequences" mindset under self-centredness. Yep. That's both fair and a classic statement on addiction. #workinprogress
Blessed be.
