DESIGN FOR LIVING - Way of Life / Profile of a Sponsor

***A DESIGN FOR LIVING Steps 10, 11 & 12 is our focus today. To discuss and explore the application of these Steps in our daily lives. These are practical tools and suggestions that can open our hearts and minds to refresh our approach to living our life! Our suffering is the “great persuader” - our GRIEF, CODEPENDENCY, ANXIETY, OVERWHELM ... when these crop up what can we do? Is what you are doing not working? Does your daily program need support? This workshop will explore Steps 10, 11 & 12, discussing the purpose of each Step as the effective means of supporting our AWAKENING. We will unpack the practical use of these 3 Steps in fostering our own personal Transformation, sustaining emotional balance and spiritual vitality. The path of improving consciousness & enlarging compassion produces optimal living. When we have a meaningful connection beyond ourselves and live a life of helping others - we find personal happiness and a life of purpose. We will discuss emotional balance and spiritual maturity as our WAY of LIVING! Steps 10,11 & 12.

Good god man. I’ve done steps, therapy, psychedelics were super helpful at 5 years sober just like Bill but at 10 years sober I’m still constantly restless, suicidally depressed, completely dissatisfied and want it all to just be over. Been like that since I was 9 and at 53 it’s still exactly the same. I rarely think about drinking, “ the problem has been removed” but it’s starting to sound good again. A terrifying possibility. Love your book Herb. Bought it a few years ago. Have read most of it but I have little to no follow through. Frontal lobe brain damage and 13 major concussions makes completing a lot of things pretty difficult. Meh. It is what it is Just came out of a five day silent retreat with Dr. Angelo Dilullo. it was outstanding. And now I’m just back in the shit.

O My God, so what you are saying a Sponsor needs to be perfect. A Sponsor is another alcoholic trying to staying sober a day at a time. I am 30 years in the 26 years sober, I have never met another human being that is perfect and if I did, I would not want them to sponsor me and that is my opinion
