Step writing for some people is
very difficult. Some addicts find all kinds of reasons why
they should not do the writing. They blamed it on their
education, or they don't have a computer, or they're not good at
putting their ideas on paper, or they just plain think it's stupid
to write all this stuff—“Besides, I'm not as bad as these people.
They need to do this work—not me".
The 12 step program is not an
assignment to punish you, it’s a program which will help you
understand yourself, and why you're addicted to lust and fantasy.
Yes this is hard work, but yes you will be changed—and you'll love
the changed you!
It may sound as if I am a broken
record, but just submit. Do what are told to do—just work the
program. Do your step writing and let the steps correct you.
You'll understand it more clearly as you go along, and eventually
you'll be telling other people, "Hey, you really need to get going
on your 12 step writing".
Did you feel any rebellion in those
earlier comments? Was their tone out of stubbornness? People who
resist the program are back to the ego problem again—“I want to do
it my way!" But remember, you never had victory when you did it
your way.
