hi Laura
I did not want to do mine but I wanted to stay sober.It was about staying sober for me.
Thinking about it too much was bad for me,so I just quit thinking about it and started.Once started,it flowed out.Another problem I had was confusion.I was confused.My sponsor had me break my life down into 5 year blocks and analyze each block,then move onto the next.
I started at 0-5 years.i found 1 resentment.
Then I went on to 5-10,then 10-15 etc
before I knew it ,it was done.
We do not have to like it or even want to do it,we just need to get it done.In the end,it was about looking at causes and conditions of my drinking and me getting well,and staying sober.
I have not had a drink since I did mine in 1988.
