I sometimes wonder if I should re-examine that one, simply because I have yet to define or understand my HP.Cindy Lou Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369628893088728744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393283123747063306.post-84835465310728831812012-07-06T02:10:53.230-05:002012-07-06T02:10:53.230-05:00The third step was he killer for me.

I remembered your post about it when I started working on it and remembered feeling the same way - I don't find them as "flaws" or "defects" they are who I am but now I am starting to see things a bit differently now that I've stepped away from it for a few weeks. Now I see I can accept my character flaws and redefine them as something better, something more positive.<br /><br />I love working the steps. I may have a long stretch of sobriety behind me but, man, these steps are a challenge! They make you think!!<br /><br />Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393283123747063306.post-78914877648876655752012-07-05T11:27:18.032-05:002012-07-05T11:27:18.032-05:00Thank you!

In the end, all I can do is work my program and hope it inspires somebody else to find a new way to live.Cindy Lou Whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369628893088728744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393283123747063306.post-69644459253558326942012-07-05T10:24:38.658-05:002012-07-05T10:24:38.658-05:00I think the steps in NA and AA are ones that we sh...I think the steps in NA and AA are ones that we should ALL be pondering . . . especially the taking a moral inventory of ourselves - - that is a scary thought but I think if we did it we could all start to be better people.
