That's great for you that you worked the steps and it worked for you. And I honestly believe you. But I'm also being fully honest when I say I worked the steps and that alone has not work for me. Yes I worked with a sponsor, who I spoke with every day, I went to a meeting every day, I read the big book, I called people, I did service work, and I still got to a point where I made the decision to drink. Of course I wish I hadn't. Of course I wish that had not been the case, but that was my experience.
Please try and keep an open mind that for some people "aa is not the be-all end all" and sometimes outside help/other help is required. I believe that was actually the daily reflection not long ago. Spoken by the program itself.
No, I don't have a resentment. I don't allow them. What I do have though is a memory and thinking when I read that that you weren't done drinking.
You say Yur being honest here that you worked the steps yet in your OP you say you never completed them.
??????????
I've received upon tide side help myself through the years, but I wasn't gonna throw out something that was helping me because it wasn't entirely helping me.
