jen....I think i've mentioned this before, but in case i haven't....for me the HARDEST steps by far were 8 and 9.
I do have to remember that being sober is about enjoying life. I work hard on my sobriety and working the steps...but there is lots of time for laughter and for fun activites no related to step work and focus of alchoholism.
At the same time, I found it benificial to spend a lot of time on meetings and step work as well.
balance is sometimes hard to get but worth the work to get there
