Rita,
That is beautiful. And guess what? I AM from Iowa.... and I'd be proud to call you an honorary Iowan.
You are dead on about how this step works, especially about one day at a time, one step at a time. It's interesting to note that this step doesn't say that our lives will be restored to sanity... only that we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. All we have to do is believe.
Hugs from Iowa
