Back To Basics ISBN 0-9657720-1-2 written by Wally P is a format of bringing people through the 12 steps as Dr Bob (co-founder of AA) did in the beginning when alcoholics recovered at a 75% success rate during the 1940's. Nothing has come anywhere close since that time! I am 100% behind this program and believe it can benefit anyone on this planet who believes he/she IS NOT PERFECT. The following is an excerpt from this publication and I use it to demonstrate how one might go about actually taking step 6 as opposed to discussing or reading about it. I will refer to this book most months as a guideline to taking the corresponding step (e.g. sixth step in the sixth month-June):
I had some tech problems with duplicating what I wanted to demonstrate as you can see from the unreadable scan at left. Hopefully the following will help you take the step:
"...Are we now ready to let the Power/God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable? Can He now take them all-every one? (If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask the Power/God to help us be willing)" ANSWER YES OR NO TO THIS QUESTION! those of you who answered yes to this question have completed Step 6 and are ready to go onto step 7. CONGRATULATIONS! See www.AABackToBasics.com
