This week, our group advanced through the first chapter, covering pages 31 to 41, which detailed Pam's experiences. During our reading, we delved into her time at a yoga retreat and her introspective examination of her life thus far.
In our discussions, we explored the seven deadly sins in relation to step six, which includes pride, envy, gluttony, sloth, and covetousness. We reflected on how envy once made us wish ill on those who succeeded or gained in any way. Before joining the Program, many of us coveted what others possessed without knowing how to achieve it ourselves. Now, in recovery, we rejoice in the miracles we experience. We've learned that action and experience hold more value than mere possession.
We've come to understand that solutions arise from direct and specific actions. Our group embraces the principle of allowing each other "the right to be wrong," with the understanding that anyone can change their course. It's a reminder that solutions are born from proactive steps.
