So we're on page 63, but I'm going to look at page 62 because page 62 is very instructive.

that we think is the root of our troubles, our alcohol driven by 100 forms of fear, self-delusion,

self-seeking, self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate sometimes

they hurt us seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time

in the past we have made decisions based on self, on ego that has made which later

placed us in a position to be hurt.

So our troubles we think of are basically of our own making, this is important because

they just had page 60, 61 and the top of page 62, particularly page 61 where they talk

about the actor who wants to run the whole show.

And that's a very important page also and that's why I read it last week with my name

in it and I challenge everybody to read that page with their name in there so that we

get to see what we actually do, particularly before we start to do a first step.
