I began to identify the damage I caused. It did not matter whether I caused the damage because I was in rage, carelessness or fear. It did not matter (my old sponsor) used to tell me if the damage was based on selfishness, arrogance or dishonesty. All the damage is material for the 8th step. By the time the 8th came into the picture I was exhausted. I inventoried my behavior in the fourth step, I took all my character defects in step six and now once again I have to look and examine them from another angle. (my old sponsor) told me the 8th step was a process that would allow me to feel equal to others. Now that was a joke to me. But today I do not have to avoid anyone. I do not live in fear that I will be punished for some neglected responsibility. I am free. Hey Mark thanks for a great conversation. I hope it does not sound to much like New York City.
