100 Learning To Listen We just finished our annual Weekend in SA with AA Conference; I remembered what I love about A.A. Speaker Meetings. The following helped me learn how to listen effectively and some of my ideal likes and dislikes of Speaker Meetings.
101 Loose Them Lou-is suggested that Al Kohallek work the Program with a person bound to and limited by their old defects, which they are unable to let go. Lou-is assuring Al he will likely receive more from helping another understand how to apply the Program than the one he is sharing with. Today you are the one who temporary has more to share with one who temporary has less.
102 Principles Before Personalities Al Kohallek wants to know just what does it mean to put principles before personalities. Why should it be so important to me or "what’s in for me". Lou-is shares with Al what it means to him by giving him a few examples.
103 Al Kohallek Goes A Sponsoring Al, I understand that you are now sponsoring a newcomer, I am happy to hear that. I am reminded of my early years of sponsoring, I wanted to be the best sponsor in all AA. I asked many questions both in and out of meetings. I wanted everyone to know that I was a sponsor. I wanted to know how to do it perfect the first time-out. Of course I did not bring that information up during my sponsorship "investigation" meetings. I would like to share my experience and I have some suggestions.
104 It’s Transformation Time Lou-is, Al Kohallek’s sponsor is one who believes it is important to share what is going on in his life. When he realized he was in the first stages of another Spiritual Transformation he let Al in on it.
105 Easy Does It But Do It Easy does it but do it, we did not get here overnight nor is it likely we will get well overnight, but the journey can begin here and now.
106 Staying Teachable If I choose to continue to awaken and grow then I must remain teachable in an every changing world.
107 Perception Correction Al Kohallek told his sponsor, Lou-is that he realized he was angry with himself for something he could not change. He was unable to forgive himself and could not let it go, he asked now what?
108 My Judgment Call When I have a need to forgive, but I am unable to, I change my need to forgive back into the judgment that cause that need and change that judgment
109 Discipline to Embrace or Avoid? Discipline is one of those words that turn people off. Do you think of discipline as a character builder? As a tool for realizing the way of life, you want? On the other hand, do you view discipline a penalty imposed for wrongdoing, punishment?
110 Father is it I? When it comes to change, I have a problem; I always resist it at first. I am better than I use to be. I still resist the change, but it is not as intense as it was, or does the resistance last as long. How foolish can it be for me to think it is our Father who needs change and not I?
111 A Negative Friend The question is, how can my expressing negativity be an answer to my prayer?
112 Can’t let go I never quick anything that was bad for me the first time I found out it was. Why am I able to let go of some of my addictions or problem and not others?
113 Spiritual Equivalent I am building a Spiritual Equivalent of my heart’s desire, my mission, that is what I believe is our Father’s will for me.
114 Mental Equivalent I am building a Mental Equivalent of my heart’s desire, my mission, that is what I believe is our Father’s will for me.
115 Physical Equivalent I am building a Physical Equivalent of my heart’s desire, my mission, that is what I believe is our Father’s will for me.
116 Emotional Equivalent I am building an Emotional Equivalent of my heart’s desire, my mission, that is what I believe is our Father’s will for me.
117 Social Equivalent I am building a Social Equivalent of my heart’s desire, my mission, that is what I believe is our Father’s will for me.
118 The Power Within Lou-is, Al Kohallek's sponsor shares with him one of the ways he improves his conscious contact with our Father, Creator within.
119 Limits of Cause and effect We are subject to the law of cause and effect but not bound by it.
