I’ve had these running around in my head for awhile and decided that maybe I need to just get them set down for consideration.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What does the idea "the further you are from your last one the closer you are to your next one" mean to you and how do you guard against it?
How do you think a person’s clean time can actually be a detriment rather than an asset in their recovery?
What impact do you feel that your clean time affects your ability to admit you are wrong or that you need help?
How do you feel complacency is an enemy of those with substantial clean time?
Do you find that you are more likely to make an excuse rather than take responsibility for your actions because you don’t want to look "weak" or "less than" to others around you because of your clean time? What can you do to change that?
Have you felt less or more like you really belong the longer you have been around? How does this affect your willingness to keep involved in your sponsor, your home group and your area?
How important is it to continue to work the steps after you have worked them the first time? Why do you feel this way?
Do you find that the longer you are clean there are topics you tend to avoid, either in meetings or with your sponsor, so that you don’t appear to be less "recovered" than you think you should look with your clean time?
As you have been clean longer, do you have a sense that just because you have the time that others should look up to you or blindly follow whatever you say? How does it make you feel if they don’t?

That’s all – for now anyway. If I get any more bouncing around in my "brain" I’ll add them another day.
