Chapter: 5 "How It Works"
Subject: Resentment Inventory, Fear, Self reliance, Trust, Sex
Good morning. We are going through the columns of the 4th step directions. We are looking at sex and learning how sex problems are problematic, in that they can be as much a part of self-centered behaviors and cause harms to others as other human activities.
Comment: The following is the second prayer for our sex conduct.
- What do we ask of God?
In meditation, we ask God what we should do about each specific matter.
- What is the promise of that prayer?
The right answer will come, if we want it.
If we don't want the right answer, the wrong one will come. There's always some kind of answer.
- Who can judge our sex situation?
God alone can judge our sex situation.
- Do we welcome the views of others on our sex problems?
Counsel with persons is often desirable,
Counsel - Interchange of opinion, instruction, advise. To recommend as, as a course. ~ The Winston Simplified Dictionary – 1938
Isn’t it funny? The moment a “counselor” points out that certain sexual behavior is selfish, self-centered, or immoral they lose their “counselor” status is a hurry and become the un-welcomed “arbiters” of sex conduct. That's just the way it is when someone is really not ready for the change – for the complete “overhaul”.
(Page 70)
- Who will be our final judge?but we let God be the final judge.
Don’t worry. Even if a weak sponsor doesn’t let us know when we are screwing up our sexuality, God never fails to. It’s called a guilty conscience.
Peace and Love,
