Isn't it grand that we can differ on fine points and not have to die as aa 
result?  I guess my interpretation is as personal as anyone else's but I've 
always read 'here are the steps we took which are suggested as a program of 
recovery'  and took it to mean that this is a program like a concert and you 
do the overture first and so on.  A program that doesn't follow certain steps 
in an orderly fashio can become confusing as the old days were for me.  That 
is not to say I disallow myself overlap.  Even in the best of concert 
programs, suggestions of movements to come and flashes back to previous 
sections ovvur frequently.  As long as I do things in the fashion that feels 
decent and honorable to me, I guess it doesn't matter if everyone (or indeed 
anyone) agrees with me.  It only matters that we open our minds and hearts to 
each other in total acceptance and loving kindness and I've bee lifted up by 
the expression of that on this chat.   Thanks for holding my hand as I 
stumble forward toward the light.  JR
