Working the Steps Homework #35 - Step12

Read “Working with Others” in BB.  Listen to Father Tom’s “Learning to Live with Crazy People”, available in my Recovery G Drive, folder Fr Tom Talks.

Working the Steps Homework #32, 33 & 34 - Step 11

Link to St Francis Prayer aka Step 11 Prayer.

32. Read page 85, last paragraph to page 88 in BB, Step Eleven in AA 12x12, OA 12x12 and Woman’s Way.  

33. Write out each line of the Prayer of St Francis/Eleventh Step Prayer and put into own words. Note: you will read the prayer in the original form, but it helps to have the meaning of each line personalized for your definition of HP.

34. Three weeks of St Francis prayer in the original (must start over if you miss a day).

My (Jumbled) Thoughts on Weight

Visualization of my analogy.  Hopefully, it makes some sense. 

The Economy of Energy

One of my sponsees was having "long term covid effects", one of which was incredible fatigue.  This is an excerpt from a voice memo that I sent about my experience after I collapsed from exhaustion in 2006.

This is one of my favorite Fr Terry talks from 1985.  For this podcast, I cut out his drunk-a-log, so it starts with him finally going to AA.  You can find his full talk here.

Conversation with Stephanie re Food Plans

I talk with my "Recovery Wife" about the difference between diets and food plans. We also go into *OUR* experience as COE who need a weighed and measured food plan.  Here is a link to my food plan pamphlet 'Dignity of Choice 1st Ed"

ps. I keep saying "prologue" when I mean "epilogue".  My recovery is not re-recording or editing this.  Go me. 

pps. I also forgot to say that if Stephanie or I want to lose weight faster, we will increase our activity, not lower our calorie intake.
