When is the right time to take the Steps
................Hmmm....... right away, as soon as possible.
Its life or death, and we alcoholics like to play games with it.
Its like a man with cancer, who waits for the right moment for the stars and skies to align, for the perfect sunny cloudless day, no rain for a week, sliver of a moon, at the right longtitude, with the right woman, at the right bar, drinking the right drink, feeling the right way............... to make an appointment for chemo-therapy. So you can wait around, twiddle your thumbs, keep the seat warm, and gamble at Russian Roulette that no ones gunna look at you the wrong way, or cut you off in traffic in which you can go on a 10 minute rant in a meeting about, and drink over it. Luck of the draw I guess, better to have some solid statistics on the Big Book game, over 75% recovery rate. I loooooove those odds.
