This Board had been trying to stay on target of a Step a MOnth We are up to:
Step 7 "Humbly Asked Him to Remove Our ShortComings"
Hi I am working Step 7 again. In Step 6 I did become entirely ready to have HP remove my many shortcomings. I saw how much pain my anger, resentment, self pity and fear caused ME. I also saw how judging others and , gossiping and blaming everyone kept me isolated and angry all the time. I slowly developed new coping tools so that I was acting in a positive fashion and not reacting with my old defective tools. I wanted these all defensive tools lifted and Humbly ask my HP each morning to remove them. One day I awoke and the pain of the anger and resentments were gone never to return Thank you HP.
I am now doing another round of the steps and am again peeling the onion a bit deeper and am at the place were i have to again trust thaqt Hp will fre me from my new defects that of being always right, entitled to be sad (myson died after all), entitled to be mean and on and on. I am again asking HP to help i cannot chane me I can pick up my wonderful alanon tools and go forth and know Hp will remove them in His time
I am so grateful for this program
On to Step 8 making that list of all that I have harmed. I intend to place myself on the top of the list and make direct amends to myself for all the negative things I have told myself for so many years.

Hi y'all... ...
I have been trying to trace back Betty's post here. [Hotrod]
And this seems to be about the beginning. She completed all 12 steps last year- and started on Step One in January.
The Miracles in Progress boards seem to have evolved over the years. The main trend being the large amount of sharing, taking place, on the message boards.
This format tracks everything- and it is clear that the sharing and activity around here reaches a lot of people!
I like it- that the primary 12 Step groups get to work together! ...
