Powerful,post and excellent insight, Berrybean, thank you! I'm Just shy of 4 months sober, and currently, very slowly, working on step 4, and this is my focus each and every day. Wow, but it's a tough one for me to practice and try to let go off years of resentments, especially at my husband, who does not support my sobriety the way I 'want' (not need) him to. Life on life's terms as you say. Such a hard thing to try to live but so freeing if one can get there.
