Tammy,

I started working with a new guy last night. He said he understood that he was powerless and life was unmanageable, so he had that first step down cold. I asked him to humor me and see what the BB said about it.

After an hour and a half, I got to witness this guy visibly resonate with a force of realization he had never experienced before. Magic.

In your case, are you free of what's talked in the book for Step 3? Have you experienced that, or have you just read the step and agreed with it? What is Step 3 about? There is real benefit to having an experience with the steps.

I'm not a fan of cliche's, but taking the steps off the wall tends to have off the wall results.

Please let me know if I can help.
