   positive reinforcement is so important! i talk about the fact i’m sober and it doesn’t deem much. if the steps haven’t been done, then we are looked down apon.
   who decides when we newbies are allowed to travel to the next step? is our sponsor the only one? i switched sponsors…..
   i feel like some are so good at preaching what is to be done but if i wanted what they had…..as in if i were attracted to what “they have” then i’d shoot myself! it is by attraction and not promotion……..as you mentioned if 30 ppl aren’t reading the book, who are we to be attracted to to try to gain what they have? it’s so confusing. plus i hear this program cannot be done alone or the steps are in order for a reason…..so what is right?

   I just came upon this podcast, yesterday. What a terrific gift of modern technology! Great job, Bruce It’s only day 3 for me, and I felt physically ill yesterday. Your podcast actually illicted several belly laughs from me. along with some deep thought. Thank you for doing this show and being of service in this new forum. I plan to become a subscriber. God willing, I will continue to remain clean and sober. I can’t praise you enough for this podcast.
