it wasnt step 4 that made ya want to drink.
more than likely fear came up and if ya read through your past posts, drinking has been your solution for fear.
you can keep doin the 1,2,3 step boogie and keep drinkin and allowing fear to control you or let your HP give ya the courage to face the fear and complete the steps.
its very easy to know when a person has done the first 3 steps thoroughly- they dive right into the 4th step.
look at the end of step 3 from the BB:
This was only a beginning, though if honestly and humbly made, an effect, sometimes a very great one, was felt at once.
that effect is willingness to continue onto step 4.
which theres a little line from that in the BB that seems to be a fat for ya,sweetichick:
Though our decision was a vital and crucial step, it could have little permanent effect unless at once followed by a strenuous effort to face, and to be rid of, the things in ourselves which had been blocking us. Our liquor was but a symptom. So we had to get down to causes and conditions.
there doesnt appear to be much effect by doing the 3 step boogie, orther than returning to the bottle.
if youd like a PERMANENT effect and experience ALL of the promises of the program......
you already know what ya have to do.
