I guess.
I did mine last night (sat with my "Sponsor" for 4 and a half hours telling him my 5th step) and I surprisingly didn't feel as free as I was expecting after it was done.
Between those of us here, I didn't bring up any of the pain I've had with people accusing me of being gay or that it's always rumbled around in my noggin for pretty much my entire adult life.
So I did take a "5th step" for the first time in my life (I'm 37)....
