In congunction with everyone else here; goodonya for knockin' out that dreaded 4th; it can be a bugger, but after it's done......? wooooooooweeeeeee!!!!
There was one thing you said that kinda has me stumped...........: "...I am beginning to understand why most of the people in AA don't work the steps..." I'm sorry if this is true where you are...that most folkd in AA (there) don't work the steps....how very sad. I just thought you might like to know that that isn't so for AA all over; here, at the meetings I've attended, most have worked the steps at least once, and many have done them many times. I hope you may find a group of those who have worked them and had a 'spiritual experience' and have recovered.....das da bes.... (o:
