The submarine launch sounds great to me coz i covered the 12 step program and keep falling!
although, i cant say im working the steps hard enough...
chazara of the original program with a buddy is a great idea i think.
Perhaps more focus on the steps themselves, eg steps 4&5 had great personal attention and real avodah behind them, maybe if we could focus on steps 1-3 in such a way, with exercises and a mentor/sponsor to give individual attention...
Am I making sense? Have I answered your questions?
