I recently started to journal. It's something one of my old sponsors tried to get me to do early on but I never started because I'm lazy. My recent vacation sparked a fire under me that had smoldered for quite some time.
Anyway with this exercise you're supposed to write three pages a day and purge your brain of all the crap that's in it. My favorite non-official program slogan is "You can't fix the $hit in your head with the $hit in your head".
It almost felt like the time I did my first 4th step as the feelings were going from my head through my arm through the pencil and on to the paper. I remember asking my sponsor when am I supposed to be done with it and he said when you put the pencil down. I used to get pissed cause his answers were always so simple and always right in front of me and i just couldn't see them.
You're supposed to do this every day but sometimes I don't think I have three pages of stuff to write. It's kind of like when you go to confession and you don't think you have anything good enough for the priest so you make stuff up to get a decent pennance. ;D Yes I come from a crazy Catholic family.
I always thought I could articulate better on paper than I could talking. You would think I would have done this long ago but as I said I'm lazy... and stubborn.
My service sponsor said if the Big Book was in cartoon form I'd be the most sober person in AA ;D
