Re: Continue to watch for ...
this is one step that not enough is written of in the bb- Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. We discuss them with someone immediately and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone. Then we resolutely turn our...

Re: Sponsor facing difficult times
if allagations arent true then whats the problem? theyre just allagations.
whats the right thing to do- he told you with," he is taking some time out & suggested to me that I should look for another Sponsor."
these are situations that the steps are for.
start at step one on just this.

Re: "Recovered"
It may be a lifetime program for living, but it certainly is not a constant battle like the word recovering implies, therefore saying recovered would be far more encouraging to newcomers. good point there. i wonder how many newcomers get apprehensive from hearing "recovering" from someone with mult...

Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some...
