First of all, super congrats on 98 days! That's huge, and you're doing great!!

Then, that quote above. I've practically worn out another quote muttering it to myself... "wehav, keep your side of the street clean." What that means to me is.... it's really not my business if (in my case it's...) my brother is an alcoholic or not. Or any other person, for that matter. What matters is I KNOW I AM. I know what drinking did to me. I worked really hard to not so much get my life back, as get a life. Recovery made me realize that even before my drinking got out of hand, I wasn't super at handling life. I'm not exactly super now, lol, but my life is overall about 1000% better!

When you continue the steps, more things will become clear. 3 is tough, but liberating. 4 is a pain in the ass, but it is super duper helpful. The steps truly set me free. I know your recovery can do the same!
