Well, my mum done that, my dad did that, this happens at school.

And sometimes there'll be big things like, you know, the government did this or the media did that.

Or sometimes it's small things and it's yourself and all the things you've done and said and all the things you've done wrong.

And then five, you tell it to someone, confession, absolute total confession.

Like there's nothing left in you that you've not said, I did this, I did this.

And like, and then usually the person you're sitting opposite from goes, yeah, I did a thing like that.

Yeah, that's not good.

Yeah, I did that.

Yeah.

Now, six and seven, step six and seven of a 12-step process are you become willing to let go of essentially sin, particularly if you look at sin as sort of false gods, fallenness, wrong energy, being inaccessible to divinity.

Like you become willing to let go of your arrogance, your selfishness, your intolerance, impatience, greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, dishonesty, arrogance, jealousy, envy.

You become willing at least to let go of them.

And then curiously again and unavoidably spiritually...

Humbly ask God to remove your defects.

It's a very spiritual program.

Eight, you make a list of people you've harmed.

Nine, you make amends, unless making amends is going to make the situation worse for them.

If it makes it worse for you, you go take it.

It's not about you, remember?

And 10, 11, 12 is keep in the process of observing your feelings.
