That won\u2019t happen simply because<br>we want it to. Our Higher Power will help us, but we<br>need to take action. From now on, every choice that<br>we make has to be based on our new principles,<br>attitudes and expectations. We need humility,<br>honesty and determination to make this happen.<br>This is new territory and every move we make<br>should first be considered, as if we were in a<br>minefield. Step Seven is one of the real work Steps<br>where we put into action the ideas we have learnt so<br>far. For example, if people-pleasing is one of our<br>defects of character, now is the time to choose to say<br>no when someone tries to manipulate you.

The new attitudes that I have been<br>practising since I started on the Steps are not<br>marks of weakness. They give me a realistic<br>sense of myself to enable me to interact<br>normally with other human beings. I no longer<br>need to pose as strong or tell people what they want<br>to hear.
