In Order
I’m not certain where I heard it, perhaps on a Joe and Charlie tape, but I heard it said that one of the best things Bill and Dr. Bob did was put the 12 Steps IN ORDER! As a matter of fact, one of the best things they did was expand the original “precepts” from 6 to 12 :-)
From Recovery.org here are the original 6 precepts (from The Oxford Group) given to Bill W. from Ebby T.
- We admitted we were licked.
- We got honest with ourselves.
- We talked it over with another person.
- We made amends to those we had harmed.
- We tried to carry this message to others with no thought of reward.
- We prayed to whatever God we thought there was.
Just a bit different eh?

Hey Brain!
I’m glad you find what I write of value - so many others haven’t - lol…
You have presented me with a difficult proposition to answer with your thoughts about b5media.
b5 isn’t a place where you can “move your Blog to,” it is a network “by bloggers from around the world covering the subjects they are most passionate about.”
I.E. b5 has provided the Blog and I provide the writings, the content on the Blog and, for that, I am paid. You can read a bit more about that here;

Soooo - I’m not sure I can point you in the right direction :-(
