Review the First Ordered Warning Sign List on the previous pages of this exercise. Read the list out loud to another person such as a counselor or your AA/NA sponsor. Ask him or her if it makes sense. Does each warning sign lead to the next? Does the list begin with the real first warning sign, or is there something that happens before this that starts the process? Does the list end in alcohol or drug use or breaking the law?

If your answer to any of these questions is no, make a note about missing items in the margin of the First Ordered Warning Sign List. Write the missing warning signs on the lines below. Then go back to the First Ordered Warning Sign List and draw in an arrow that shows where the missing item should go. Write the letter that stands for the missing warning sign next to the arrow.
