Muncie AA,
I have a woman at the jail who is having trouble with the first step. Does anyone have any ESH that I can copy/paste and give to her for further reading? I would like her to have other AA member's points of view, for a switch. Also, is there anything that I can print off for her from the Big Book, or is there anything else I can get for her to read?Has anyone here had trouble with the word, "powerless"? I have found this word to be difficult for some feminist-minded, strong women. I have tried to stress that the word applies to her use of alcohol and not over other aspects of being a strong-minded female.
I believe this lady is inspirational in many areas of recovery and for the other women around her, and she has the capacity to be honest
with herself and others. I think she has a great deal of potential. I hate to see her struggle with this vital first step and then end back up in jail again.
I was thinking of printing "More About Alcoholism." Last week she informed me that she wasn't having problems with the second or third step but it is the "powerless" part of the first step that is bothering her.
W/ Gratitude,
Tammy
