We had one of the best meetings tonight: the Spirit seemed to be really strong and everyone who shared gave insights that were helpful. I feel like it’s such a blessing to work with all the guys in the group. It’s fun to see the same faces and a few new ones each week. I’m […]

Confession to God: How does confessing your sins to God help you make positive changes in your life?
Two things come to mind: (1) In order to confess my sins to God I have to know what my sins are. I have to recognize that I’ve sinned. (2) Once I’ve recognized my sin and felt remorse, I have to pray to “call up” God. So confessing my sins to God help me because […]
Step 8 – Showing Kindess to Others
Today was a good day. I’m feeling the affects of staying up way late last night: helping clean up puke from the girls and working on the AD project. It’s late tonight too so I hope to have a direct and effective study. Think about people who have shown kindness and love to you. How […]
Step 5: Confession to a priesthood leader
Last night I confessed to my bishop my addiction and all that, but I really confessed and felt bad about being so secretive and dishonest. I have covered up, minimized, and pretended I was alright for many years. I wanted to go into the bishops office and unload all this heavy burden of lies and […]
Step 8 – Breaking the Cycle of Bitterness and Offense
I had a good meeting this morning with Jason. We talked about the progress made on Step 8, talked about resentments, and began discussing a few of the “how’s” of Step 9. Some things that I’ve really been grateful for: That Jason taught me the Step 4 process the way he did, focusing on Resentments […]
Resentment and Bitterness
Today was a good day. I felt we had a good training for the team – my objective going in was to think about what we can do to help clients see a quicker ROI. I got lots of commentary, lots of feedback, etc. Hopefully we can come up with things that will make small […]
Missed a Couple Days
I missed the last two days and am ready to get back on track. Friday Becky and I went on a special date since Becky’s mom is in town. We stayed over night, had a great dinner, and were going to go to a movie but there was nothing worth watching it seemed. Instead, we […]
Step 8 – Forgiving & Forgiveness Continued
Well, my mother-in-law just arrived. In the past this has been a “resentful time”. Not because I don’t love my mother-in-law, but mostly because I feel quite lonely. I sit here next to Becky and often times feel like a 3rd wheel. The question I have to ask myself is, “What can I do to […]
Step 8 – Forgiving and Asking Forgiveness
Today went pretty well. I still feel a bit of resentment and pride at work, which seems to have dangerous effects on how I use my time. I didn’t waste a lot of time today, but browsed new friends photos a bit on Facebook… To me, this is like a relapse. I’ve also noticed a […]
Step 8 – Reaching Out to Others
Tonight was a good night. I went to the Provo meeting due to a conflict this coming Thursday. It was amazing to see how many people were at the Provo meeting. There were so many we had to split in to THREE groups of about 15 people each. I was really surprised to only see […]
