Hi Sobergirl
Some great insights here...I mentioned on another thread that in my view you should be going right back to step 1. I agree with Laurie that you need that solid foundation. I understand that you say that you have 'worked' the first 3 steps...but you gotta put in some more work there, go back to the beginning. You need to 'get' step 1 before moving on...what helped me was using the NA step guide it really made it sooo clear for me!
I would also get a new sponsor, pronto! And go back to the start - not to say your 4th step is wasted it's not, you will pick it up once you got step one- someone once said it's the only step you gotta do perfectly. I agree with this. Once I got step 1, I did not relapse again.
Keep going!!!
