Is working the steps something I can do by myself or do I need another person to be involved?
.
imo you will need someone experienced to guide you through....it may be there is someone at your local AA meeting with that experience..
You could buy a BB and make a start....sounds to me like you already understand elements of step 1.
Id be glad to discuss any steps with you through p.m Or E mail, if you feel i can help......there is also a good step forum here.
But if you have the opportunity to gain a f2f sponsor that is normally the most effective route.
good luck..........Names shaun and yep, im an alcoholic.
