Ever Felt Stripped Naked; Being Left to Bare Our “Promiscuous Misery” for All the World to See – Step 7

“When gluttony is less than ruinous, we have a milder word for that … we call it ‘taking our comfort.’ ” “Consider, too, our talents for procrastination, which is really sloth in five syllables. … and few of us would seriously think of giving them up, at least until they cause us
excessive misery.”  (12 & 12, p. 67)

“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts … the result for them all taken together must be a state of in-security, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.”  Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) German-American physicist / philosopher

Which character failings (or instincts) place you in a state of seeming misery,  lately?  Think of the 7  deadly sins (false pride, anger, gluttony, greed, lust, envy, sloth)

THE DEFECT’S MANY DISGUISES –

“When gluttony
is less than ruinous,
we have a milder word
for that … we call it ‘taking
our comfort.’ ” “Consider,
too, our talents for procrasti-
nation, which is really sloth in
five syllables. … and few of
us would seriously think of
giving them up, at least
until they cause us
excessive misery.”
(12 & 12, p. 67)

A DEEPER LEVEL OF SURRENDER –

“Asking our Higher
Power to remove our
shortcomings requires a
surrender of a more pronoun-
ced nature than our initial sur-
render. In this new level of sur-
render, we accept not only our
addiction but also the short-
comings related to our
addiction.” (It Works,
How & Why, p. 50)

“If men as indivi-
duals surrender to
the call of their elemen-
tary instincts … the result
for them all taken togeth-
er must be a state of in-
security, of fear, and
of promiscuous
misery.”

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) German-American physicist / philosopher
