1/ Powerlessness over ones script because it holds unconscious material which impacts feelings, thoughts and behaviours on life, others and the self.

2/ Higher Power can also be about developing ones own internal nurturing and compassionate parental introject. “A swallowed whole”, ” healthy directing life mentor”.

3/  To be willing to surrender relating to putting down defences that don’t really work for you in your contemporary life, they are counterproductive to being peaceful and happy.

4/ Our own personal inventory is about understanding our role in our own script and lifestory.

5/  Sharing with another is about taking the risk to trust , let go and just be without secrets.

6/ Defects of character are ones flaws or gritty bits and how these traits do not help us.

7/ Our humble and compassionate nativator which helps us to cathect our adult.

8/ A list of significant others that have impacted our lives allows the script to be external to us.  We can see how the roles of others have been important to our life story and how we have hurt and impacted thus, can make amends.

9/ This step is about taking the action on amends and help us to develop a healthy internal parent.

10/ The maintainance of a inventory process allows self reflection, ownership of our lives and helps us stay in reality.

11/ The conscious contact with higher power in whatever form that makes sense to us can help our spiritual connection which has a domino effect on all parts of our life .

12/ The giving of service helps human beings with their needy part which can highten selfishness.  This is by balancing and grounding us as what we think we often need we actually dont.  Rather then seeking this by giving to others and the process of altruism we get to feel good anyway.

All of the above will be explored and discussed in much more depth over the coming weeks.
