    Would love you to listen to Dr.Bobs last speech when he was dying and knew he only had 2 months to live. He pleads with us to keep this simple and not louse this up with Freudian complexities. Keep it simple sweetheart. Ed. Ireland

    Excellent video, love how you explained step 6, also, did not understand steps 6 & 7 even after redoing the steps. Then I heard a woman do a step 6 chair and everything fell into place, I now understand the word 'remove' means not just 'get rid of' but also 'to distance myself from' - For example; if I am moving house, I hire a removal van to transport my furniture from my old house to my new home. When I spot that one of defects is activated, I ask God to help me remove my defect. I can't rely on God alone, I must take action and remove myself physically from "people, places and things" STEP 7-I obtain humility and ask God to remove my shortcomings

    Right on! What I exposed in my Fifth step in early sobriety is still being shown to me years and years later. What happens is that I become more awari become more aware later in God,s time to identify a deep rooted character defect. I sure couldn’t handle everything at one. I say the seventh step prayers morning and bam ! Thirty years later I arrive at a more acute understanding of something. Slowly but surely... good stuff. Thanks

    I'm so interested in your video s, as well as you the way you share and break down the option s to work your steps I'm on five, was lost for a few weeks reading lots but not understanding how to start on. It after watching your videos I feel more confident, but my situation,. Do you? I know it's probably dumb question cuz I know it's probably dumb question cuz you super interesting I've been cleaning for six months in the icy life in a different way but I'm waiting to go in deep her about my recovery.

  • @MrJerkkeri
    @MrJerkkeri 3 роки тому +1

    First time i really think i got what step 6 means was in aa meeting, just before i started to made my 4th step.
    I had a lot of antipathy toward God. Suddenly i just realized that i've been used God to mask my own insecurities, and that i can really just accept everything how it really is....
    This led to so called ego death, i started crying because i was so happy. That was hands down, the best experience i have ever had in my life. Only lasted about 2weeks, but it was a really wild ride when i could just be, well, me. Without any of that harmful social programming or thoughts of how i think i should be to gain acceptance of others
    This video is pretty much how i have understand these two steps.
    Sorry about my bad english.
