Light at the end of the tunnel

I'm on the sex inventory for my fourth step. I'm extremely motivated. I will be finished next week..

My sponsor said to save 5 TO 6 HOURS FOR THE FIFTH??? We will probably meet Easter weekend, I think that's pretty appropriate huh?

A bit of trepidation, but so ready for this!

Fantastic!!!! keep in mind that if you do not take the 5-6 hours it is nothing to fret over, by the same token get it all out there and covered, the 5th is the real beginning of freedom I found.

Way to go NMM. You are steadily moving toward that new life Rufus talks about in a different thread. I have watched you progress and I must say you growth shows. Keep up the good work.

i was so scared of my fifth, I think i still had a case of terminal uniqueness
i can say the fifth steps was one of the best things I've ever done
it was an amazing relief and an amazing feeling

way to go on doing the work, that's what it's all about

Excellent progress....

5 TO 6 HOURS FOR THE FIFTH???
That made me smile in rememberance
I had set aside 2 hours for mine
between a meeting and a date.

When Joe came by....he found both
Lonnie and I in tears ...no where close to finished.

He left...we resumed and finished 3 hours later.

It has started to rain ...a soft light shower
as I walked home thru several pocket parks
the spring flowers were blooming ...the air fresh

and I saw a rainbow. I felt re born.
Awesome experience.
