Five areas that seem to cause the most serious problems for those in recovery:
* Fear
* Guilt
* Resentment
* Feelings of Inadequacy
* Spiritual Loneliness
Seven Questions for those who are struggling through a difficult period in recovery:
1) In looking back over your life, what memories are still painful, guilty or dirty?
2) In what ways do you consider yourself an inadequate person?
3) Whom do you resent and why?
4) What do you conceive to be your defects of character as you see them today?
5) What is the nature of the ongoing problems you have with people close to you? What seems to always happen when things blow up?
6) In what ways do you think your recovery program can help you with any of these problems?
7) In what ways do you think that you can be begin to change to solve your problems?
"The most lovable quality anyone can possess is tolerance. It is the generosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinion and their own peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way." (AA's monthly magazine, 1969)
