Missy,
I must tell you that I have been in AA/N/A and C/A since May 27, 2008. I had started to work the steps then. Yes, I relapsed, but I am aware of and try to follow the steps to the best of my ability. I agree that having only 18 days clean is a problem with working the steps. I have gone back to steps 1,2 and 3.
Thank you so much for the words of wisdom. Hope to talk with you again,
Becky
