Funny thing happened when I asked for help.

Yes...a funny foreign thing happened to me today when I asked for help.
I got it.

I shared at a meeting that Ive been struggling with the steps. Ive got the first step down...oh yes...I SO understand and believe that Im an alcoholic and my life is unmanagable.
But where do I go from there??
I struggled with this for days....not knowing how to move forward.
So, I swallowed my pride...admitted I didnt know what the eff I was doing and I dont know how to work the steps.
Guess what Im doing tomorrow?
I have a step study with a fellow member who has 15 years sobriety and HE HAS WHAT I WANT!
You know that peace stuff they talk about? The serenity? (read pages 84 andb 85 of the Big Book) Thats what he's got....and Im lucky enough that he's going to come and do a step study with me.

Huh....weird that it works that way in AA. Ask for help and there it is.
Who woulda thought?
