Review of Step 6 Questions Continued

By N

It’s really helpful to re-read these entries. I’m grateful I’m writing in my journal and sharing my thoughts, feelings, and concerns.

I feel my callings have been great opportunities to come to know myself and others. But I don’t have to have a calling necessarily to reach out to others.

This evening at group I shared my thoughts about what I feel has helped me the most:

  • Working the steps of the program
  • Recognizing resentments and fears: not letting my addiction get to the point of “sexual harms done” or “other harms done”
  • The power of sponsorship for accountability, both for the person using a sponsor and for the sponsor
  • The power personal prayer has had and continues to have as I remember it. Talked about how the “chin-up” idea and submitting my will to God is based a lot on personal prayer. Girls will continue to dress a certain way, it may even be worse, but if I’m prayerful and seeking God’s will in all things, I CAN overcome lustful tendencies.

I felt really good about the meeting. I’m concerned for Ben, who always seems to pass when it’s his turn to share. Last week I gave him my phone number but he didn’t get in touch with me.

I will follow up with him next week or hope that he calls.
