Good job Mike.
Did you remember to read page 75 after, and follow the directions in the last paragraph?

One of the unexpected benefits of step five for me was I lost my loneliness. Up until that point I had thought that I must be the worst person ever to come to AA and if they found out, I would be kicked out. We shared general stuff in meetings, as we should, but I never heard specifics.

I got some great feed back from my sponsor sharing parts of his fifth, and I discovered that I was just an ordinary alcoholic who did stuff that alcoholics do. My guys that have gone to priests have had similar feedback except they also discovered that crazy stuff is not limited to alcoholics. It was so reassuring to know I was no different.

And the same goes for you Mike. There is nothing that you have done, or thought about doing, that I havent done or thought about doing.

You are truly one of us now.
