running through the steps like a race hours it not going to make you one day more sober than you already are
I drank after 13 years and I had worked all the steps
I studied the big book
I sponsored folks and I had a sponsor
none of that kept me sober
why?
because I quit doing them
what we have is a daily reprieve based on our spiritual condition
it does not matter if I have 40 years or 40 days
I should have 31 years
I don't I have 15 years
but I will lose them if I start running the show
I don't want microwave recovery
maybe you could let your sponsor lead the way
after all you choice them for a reason
I got drunk when I sponsored myself
my ego will tell me all sorts of things
but if you have taken step one 100%
and you only have a short time back sober I would hope you listen to the one who you have right now
I looked at what I missed that caused me to get drunk and if I have not done that completely I will repeat it
my sober time means squat as far as me never taking another drink I got impressed with myself
HA!!
today I remember I have one day
I have know folks with 25 and 30 years that went back out
hang in and
easy does it
