What do you do when...

I asked my sponsor, "What do you do when you finish working the Steps?"

Without batting an eye, he replied, "You lie really still, because

you're dead!"

like this, but truth is, you start at Step One again.  As we work the Steps, we get new awareness and a new level of honesty, so when we start again, it is like they are complete new.  Some say, "I already did this Step.  

My question is, what didn't you write first time around.  This is a living program and we grow in our sobriety when we continue to work the Steps in today.  We may not do a Steps 1, 2, & 3, but when we remember something from our past that makes itself known in today, I need to rework Steps 4-9.  What a wonderful sense of freedom we get and the 12 Promises start to come through for us.

This is a one day at a time program. Some days I need all 12 Steps, they are a way of life.
