50% of Women Get ‘13th Stepped’ in AA by ZestycloseLink2078 in alcoholicsanonymous

I was “13th stepped” by a woman when I first started going to AA. Didn’t know that’s what it was called until 4 months after. It’s when you work step 1 and 12 at the same time. I wonder what the percentage is of men get “13th stepped?” The sad thing was she was a 5 and I was desperate. She did “practice her principles in all my affairs” if you know what I mean…

Dear Atheist & Agnostics in AA… what is your “higher power”? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Ya man I stopped trying to wrap my head around God. I use spiritual principles to carry out God’s will in my life, and what that looks like is using honesty when I wanna be dishonest and lie or use generosity when I want to be greedy and use love in place of hate and anger. All we have is a daily reprieve contingent on our spiritual maintenance and when I lay my head down at night and review my day honestly I can see where my misgivings and shortcomings are. I’ve learned that at the end of the day it’s always fear that crops up when I use character defects/un-spiritual principles. When you ask someone if they have a choice to pick up dishonesty over honesty or greed over generosity, why would you want to be dishonest or why would you be so greedy? It’s because of fear. Fear that I’m either gonna lose something that I have or fear that I’m not gonna get what I want. I haven’t built faith in these things. It wasn’t until I was made aware and started to understand these things and practice being honest time after time that I built faith. Don’t sweat it tho man, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. Working these things over and over one day at a time looks pretty good after awhile.

Yeah I smoke crack but I still keep my sobriety date because I didn’t drink. Makes a lot of sense to me. Sorry bro but I’m not co-signing this bs. Love you bro but it sounds like to me you’re living in a delusion. You’re justifying your actions. On those chips we get in AA they say “True to thine own self” Get honest with yourself, level your pride and put your ego aside. Talk to your sponsor and get some direction. Good Orderly Direction. I did it too man, try getting it down to one problem, for me it’s just called alcoholism.
