Eightfolds Master List

I am 40.  I am sober in AA.  I also have other addictions.  I might get disbarred from my drinking and procrastinating.  At one time I had a nice practice, big house,  lexus and benz, and wife.  now i am broke and live in my dad's condo  I also make money playing cards online.  seriously.  i dont like to gamble and hate poker really, but worked hard to be good.  now i just dont play.

 

I have been working the 12 steps.  I am on step 9.  I know i am powerless over my addictions, i cannot quit or stay quit on my own.   I told my sponsor and my girlfriend all my deepest darkest secrets.  i am turning my life over to a buddhist path as best i can.  that is my higher power.  step 9 is amends.  i still can do law, and i have let down a few clients.  i need to do what i am obligated to do for those that i can in law.  

due to my drinking and procrastination, i gave up poker.    my online accounts have gone down by thousands of dollars as i cash out but never play.   I want to play 40000 hands a month and work on my game.

 

Ninth step - I have made a lot of progress on this.

Poker - 40,000 hands/month.  work on game.  still not playing.
