As a self-centered person,

I only see myself as the centre of everything

At my worst,

I do not consider what my actions would mean to others.

The big book says that

being self-centered is

in direct conflict with our new way of living in recovery.

Let’s start with self-centeredness Chrissy

What does being self-centered mean to you?

How has recovery helped?

How does self-centeredness manifest itself today?

What part of the program do you use to combat this?

When I’m acting selfish

I want to receive more than give.

When I’m really sick,

I will give only if I think

that the return will be larger than my giving

But the book says…

Selfishness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles.

The Book also says…

Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it kills us!

So this is about as important of a subject as it gets.

What is selfishness to you and how does it differ from being self-centered?

What part of the program helps to defeat this selfishness?

Has the program made you less selfish than before? How?

What does “This is a selfish program” mean to you.

How do you know when you have gone from self care to selfishness?

How do you do self care?

How do you know when self care has moved into being selfish?

Who would you rather be around,

Self-centered Mark or

Selfish Mark

Why?

If this character defect is so dangerous, would you point it out in someone else if you spot it?

How would you do that?

When we come into recovery, we begin a whole new way of life.

This means changing our actions and our attitudes.

We are promised a new freedom and a new happiness.

The Big Book talks about the program resulting in huge

emotional displacements and rearrangements.

By definition, we are going to experience t

hings, situations, people for the first time.

This is our topic tonight.

First Times in Recovery

Where do you guys want to start?

We may want to talk about our first meeting our first sponsor, our first holiday sober.

Let’s keep the New comer in mind.

Let’s share our experience, strength, and hope so that the new guy doesn’t feel so unique.

Like he is the only one to fear watching the Lions on Thanksgiving day sober for the first time.

There is hope. Let’s give that to them tonight.

Your initial thoughts?

If you’d Like to Join the conversation on Earning trust, call right now

PLAY THE JINGLE – get from drop box

In my addictive behavior,

I probably broke trust with those who care about me in various ways,

such as lying and keeping secrets.

Since my addiction spanned many years,

the people affected by my addiction doubted my recovery,

especially since I tried to control my addiction before.

Building trust takes time;

I have to continue to prove that I can do this one day at a time.

Let’s go t you first, N,

Before program, how did you lose the trust of your loved ones? employers? Friends?

In what ways did you lose trust?

Did you know that you were not trusted at that time?

What was it like when you first came in, were you able to regain trust immediately?

How did that make you feel? Why did you feel this way? What part of self was being threatened?

What character defect was in effect?

What part of the program helped you with this feeling of frustration?

When did you start to regain trust? example?

The expression, “Waiting for the other shoe to drop” means,

To await a seemingly inevitable event, especially one that is not desirable.

To anticipate something negative happening as a result of or related to a previous negative event

Let’s hear an example of how someone gets into a situation of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

You thoughts about the clip?

What do you think of the expression

Waiting for the bad, you will miss the good

“Nobody likes to be caught off guard, but many people believe that if we’re not worrying we’re being irresponsible, setting ourselves up for risk, putting ourselves in harm’s way.”

What are your thoughts about feeling irresponsible if you are not worrying about something. Have you ever found yourself feeling this way?

What do you do to counter these negative feelings?

What steps

What prayers

What slogans

how has your sponsor helpped

How has the fellowship helpped

How has your higher power helpped
