I clicked on your thread because I'm just starting my sixth step, having just finished four and five.

297, it's excellent that you're taking a look at the steps, and thereby taking a look at yourself. I do feel compelled to give one piece of advice: Go through the Steps one by one, in order, patiently, with a sponsor.

I've tried it both ways-- with a sponsor, and on my own doing recovery readings. Without going through them each in their own time, the steps can seem hokey...quaint... at least, that was how it seemed to me. Good stuff in there, but taken with a large grain of salt.

Trust me when I say that there's a huge "Holy Sh*t!" factor when you do each step slowly and completely, with the advice of someone who's been through it before.

Gotta run, but I wish you a tremendous amount of luck and spirit,
