Hi People

OK I am jumping the gun a little, only 4 days sober so long way to go day at a time etc. I have admitted I am powerless and life is unmanageble, 99% of the time I accept that the other 1%, I think no I can be OK, need to get that. I am prepared to believe in an HP and am prepared to hand that over, not there yet spirituality is something I need to put effort into.

So step 4 - I have done some bad stuff whilst drunk, but on the whole got drunk passed out not really upset too many people
step 5 - I can cope with if I can achieve 4
Step 6 - Now I'm not perfect, no one is and I do want to be a better, kinder, more thoughtful person. But character defects, I drink to excess but beyond that I feel my character is fairly well balaced, room for improvement need to be more grateful, but defects?

Anyway getting ahead of myself, I know and will need to work these with a sponsor but know I am projecting, but do need to think about these things and my journey to a better life, thinking about a happy future works for me in as much as just for today does.

Anyway Thanks for reading, any views would be appreciated.
