Step 4 prayer

Four spiritual friends met this AM (715 Club) and discussed step4 for the last time this April. I felt excitement as we shared so deeply about about who we are and how much more of spiritual journey lay ahead. To me each seemed closer both to me and her/his God than at the beginning of April.

Prayer and narrowing of feelings/thoughts is happening as I now know what needs immediate attention in my life. I have enough of me both in writing and in my head to say that step4 is once again complete. I will let all settle as I think about sharing my work with a trusted friend (fellow 12 stepper and or a professional) during May.

By the way I work the steps everyday and share whatever needs to be shared as it happens. I am not suggesting for a moment that anyone do step5 only in May because it is the 5th month. For the purpose of this blog and universal sharing I will comment many times each month on the corresponding step, so we can create a larger sense of recovery everywhere for all who will paticipate. Healing is the goal for all of us. If my program is healing me and that was my motivation (it must not be to fix another), then I beleive that my program is spiritual in its results. Personally I think people need to very quickly take all the steps to get to a sense of spiritual connection and thereafter to work diligently and in an ongoing way each of the steps IN ORDER and always with 12 step partners.
